Use case would normally be a small form factor x86_64 machine which can be price competitive with high end AP hardware and you don't have to play the game of finding compatible hardware (squatting in the aisle in a walmart looking at the hardware revisions of all of the APs they have in stock finding out that they have the AP you were looking for but the hardware revision was incompatible)

Being able to buy a "normal" computer and install tomato on it is a more attractive prospect for a lot of reasons.
