one use-case is/was to install a utillities package on a server
(without KDE/kdelibs installed), create (takes less time than via e.g.
NFS) a file with collection information via the collectionscanner
executable and import this file on your desktop.

No idea if many people use this anymore ... I used it from time to time.
