They are [somewhat] popular for embedded computer vision and machine learning development. Think developing algorithms for autonomous cars or similar as an example. Stuff where you need an embedded platform, but need a powerful GPU for computational purposes. That combination is somewhat rare, especially in an affordable, ready-to-go format available in small quantities that developers can use to play around.
