I'm sure many others, since it's an industry trend at the moment, I think because of Google's Material Design.
It's particularly useful for very large sites where it's impractical for a designer to design every single page individually- This is a way to break a site down into a system. You might quite rightly wonder how that is different from just having templates.
Atomic design includes templates, it just breaks things down to smaller pieces as well, so that a designer has an opportunity to make smaller elements like buttons, colours, widgets, forms etc consistent with each other and align to a designed grid. It reigns in some of the visual chaos and aligns extremely well to "component based" front end frameworks like react.
If there's anything that this sort of thing can hopefully achieve, is greater consistency in typographic grids and rhythm. The downside of this is it can tend to make websites look incredibly bland and samey- the other side of the coin to improving consistency.
