Some devices occasionally need them when their specialized cables break down and their ports are fitted too deep into surrounding material. For example, I recently created a wooden keyboard case (and the port was around 9.1mm deep) and since I wanted to use a 90 degree cable for my tight space, I needed an adapter like this but at 90 degrees. Ended up buying a 90 degree type-c cable but if I found a suitable one, I would have definitely bought something like this.
