Can anyone think of a GOOD use-case for this weird Mini PCI-E to Dual-SFP card?

In that post I described some weird Mini PCI-E cards I'd found while browsing.

What I can't figure is out why anyone would actually NEED one of these.

There seem to be 2 different cards. The 2x RJ45 one I can BARELY understand someone needing. Maybe.

But the 2x SFP one? Who needs to put two 1000-baseX fiber transceivers into a machine that ONLY has a Mini PCI-E port free THAT BAD?!
