One use case is that if you have a folder of (presumably legitimately acquired, or you know what I mean) movie files, you can figure out how long it will take you to finish them. Although number of video files * 2 hours/file is also likely a very good estimate.

Although I seriously doubt data hoarders care about that. A movie will be eventually watched someday. If they run out of space, they'll get another drive. Storage is cheap.
