People who need mass storage and either have limited space or want to maximize the space they do have. A thirty-two drive rack full of 14TB drives is 448TB of storage space instead of 320TB (thirty-two 10TB drives). And if you only need 320TB of storage you only need a rack that holds twenty-three drives - so you might downsize to a twenty-four drive rack.
I updated a lot of my 4/6TB drives to 8TB drives for this reason: too much physical space was being taken up on my desk by having so many 4TB drives.
