These services are / were very popular in online gaming to knock opponents offline, you only need a few minutes of DDoS time to kill a residential connection. Console games in particular are quite vulnerable as a good amount of them still use peer to peer connections so you can easily find IPs to target. Other techniques such as booby trapped links, P2P voice chat, fake servers etc can find player IPs for PC games.
