I can't speak for Postman, but at work we use Hurl intensively in our CI/CD. Test files are commited, and using comments in Hurl files serve as a documentation of requests workflows. Another Hurl use case is, instead of testing APIs, you want to download datas. Like curl, Hurl can output an HTTP response body. Unlike curl, this response can be the last one of a complex workflow (data behind login for instance, you need to capture data from one request and inject in another request like CSRF tokens). Disclaimer: I'm one of the Hurl maintainers.
