Modchips have a number of functions. They're explictly legal in Australia*, for instance, because they allow bypassing of region locking, which otherwise tends to screw over Australian customers, hard.
(*At least until the ACTA comes calling)
I'm a games designer. The problem is region locking in the first place in that situation, for example. (Also, they've managed their usual ~5% rate of cutting off non-modded 360's)
