Photoshop uses it for its built-in unit coercions -- so you can say "set
height to 100 as points", and so on. For some reason, this functionality
could only be achieved by using a scripting addition -- Quark did something
similar.
None of the other Adobe apps use these coercions; Illustrator works solely
in points, and InDesign doesn't support coercion between units.
