Useful for booting old PCs (win9x era, no usb drivers and no connectivity) and recovering files from them.
Also it's nice to have one on some USB drive, you never know when you might need it.

It is useful if you have to work from a ton of different machines and you don't want to leave your data behind.
It is useful if you need to restore a computer and the OS isn't working.
It is useful if you need to test a few things without installing an OS.
