We need(ed) them extensively for lab hardware access in the office. It's accessible over wi-fi and VPN but we often need a wired connection to directly test hardware functionality and performance. So last year after people kept losing their dongles we starting keeping USB-C dongles always plugged into the cable ends. Adds $20-$40 to every person-facing ethernet outlet, but nobody ever lacks one, and we noticed more people using Ethernet as a result because of how much faster and more stable it is than our wi-fi. If anyone not new or transient to the office took the dongle off the cable, they got shamed very, very deeply. YMMV (we are a very shame-effective group) but buying 15 dongles once ended up being cheaper than buying 10 dongles, then 5 a few months later, then another 5, then oops we found the 5 that we thought were lost...
