I've heard of systems which use it for additional security. Like some banks, who want user A to only be able to access their system from machine foo, not machine bar or any other machine. I think this is in order to make sure that even if the thief somehow got hold of A's passphrase or private key or whatever, they still need to actually use the original person's station.
