What about running PHP, Django, Node, or Ruby based applications ? They all do connection per request so the pooler on host gives you an immediate improvement to connection latency.

Even if you are using a language with a built in connection pooler like Go or Java being able to manage your connections external to your application is enough of a benefit to keep the pooler separate.
