Discourse is far more open in scope. I could see wanting a SO-like documentation/knowledge platform without wanting a discussion platform with an add-on.
What would you expect to be different about a Discourse instance versus an SO instance?
I'd imagine they'd be almost exactly the same. Users post questions, other users (or the same user) posts an answer. The SO format isn't that different. And Discourse search probably works better currently anyways.
As others have mentioned in this thread, the SO-specific features seem least useful for small teams or really any organization that's not a bunch of random Internet people.
