What is the purpose for multiple windows in game devolopment?

A lot of game development APIs recently got support for multiple windows (such as SDL 2, and GLFW 3). But why did they add that feature? I've never seen a game in my life use multiple windows (with the exceptions of a launcher, or a messagebox). Is there something I'm missing here? Is there an actual game development purpose to it? I'm very confused of why they did that.
