Same as for the caps lock key, one way to look at it: if you don’t use it, remap it to something useful to you. If you only need ctrl on the left, remap all the other left modifiers to ctrl, etc. It’s a long tail thing I think, but the right/left modifiers pair are tremendously useful if you use it to switch states. For instance I use it for switching IME modes, I could see it used for switching virtual desktops, show/hide virtual environments etc. It’s more intuitive than using the same key to switch, it works with muscle memory as you’ll always get into a given state by hit a given key.
