The only place I've seen it used is in networking (most kinds of 
networks transmit individual bits) and data compression (you might want 
to send the data over a network or other transport, and you need to 
compress it enough that the decoder can receive the data fast enough). 
Haven't seen it anywhere else. (As you say, it wouldn't make much sense.)
