Automation. The same reason that Office apps can be scripted with VBScript. It seems like OBS is GPLv2 so may be somewhat amenable to having external automation, but I suspect that may be a controversial opinion. Going that path depends on how risk averse you are. OBS is open source software and various third parties have tried to wrap it up into a commercial services offering. They embed it in something like an Electron app and then have it talk with their paid-for services, all through node.
