And I still use one.

Some of them support Class 2.0/2.1 faxing. I did not have very good look with Class 1 fax-modems + USB->serial conversion. I'm guessing it's because Class 2.x systems don't have any timing-sensitive host<->modem communications, but I didn't actually do much research to isolate the root cause once I found something that worked.

So that's one potential use, if you still use faxes.
