Might it not be a useful way to indicate chapter length?

You could, for example, calculate how long it is likely to take you to read the next chapter by comparing the page count to previous chapters.
Helpful for people who like to read entire chapters at a sitting.

Or, in a short story collection - to select a story of appropriate length for the time you have to read it.
