Academics want this; they have to cite precise locations.

Book clubs find this helpful, too -- "okay, look at what this guy did on page 96!."

Yes, they are fairly useless for books read by a single user in isolation without needing to ever cite a passage -- but there are many ways to use and enjoy a book.
