There are legitimate reasons why you may want more flexibility than simple
destination-based routing. I.E. Having two connections, one satellite
(fast cheap but high-latency) and one long-distance modem connection
(slow, expensive but low-latency) and dynamically routing telnet packets
over the modem connection. Or, traffic engineering: routing packets from a
certain blocks over a certain interface, etc.
