Sometimes you just want to do it once and you don't want to write a config file for it.

For example, I am often building up a short lived vps in order to use ssh as a socks proxy and bypass georestrictions.

Also it happens that sometimes you are asked to help a different team and need to access a server you aren't accessing usually and have very few reasons to ever access again.
