I must admit I find the ADE page numbers quite useful because they are exactly the same on my Kobo einks and Android devices. I swap between them frequently and it's easy to find my place. In the absence of a Whispersync-like facility, it does the trick fairly well.
I also like to have the exact same page count available in calibre (via Count Pages plugin) for quick and dirty assessment of short/medium/long books.

Well, generating fake page numbers can be quite useful in the event that you want to choose the algorithm used, or manually set the number of pages.
Although I guess I could hear that EPUB is a less interesting target for those reasons -- not that I'd know anyway, I already said I don't care about fake page numbers.
