What is the point of the non-usb serial port on network gear? (noob alert)

I was wondering, is there some special case where this weird RJ45 or rs233 serial port is needed for automation or something? Something that makes USB completely inappropriate?

I mean, even small budget processors come with integrated serial over usb interfaces these days. Why push users to buy converters when a simple usb cable should be enough?
