Usually I see it in combination with textures, but there's usually something off about it. I think sometimes people use it to cover flaws in the texture map - possibly covering up over-painting or trying to de-emphazise textures that still had "baked in" specular, etc. I always thought it should be easier to use a good texture, bump, specular combination than fiddling with extra materials. But to be fair, sometimes it's folks trying to fake SSS.
