I suppose the usecase would be a "poor man's IPMI", a separate chip dedicated to monitoring the main system, with the ability to power if off and on. Sadly most(?) x86 systems don't offer a non-visual way to access BIOS/UEFI settings (like ARM boards usually do with uBoot over serial), so the utility of such monitoring without video input is limited, but just being able to remotely reset a system via a built-in chip would be very useful.
