I fail to see why anyone would use that instead of inline <script> tags?

Is it because each tag would then be parsed and run in order, ie you couldn't declare a function at the end of the page that you'd use at the top? It's the only explanation that comes to mind...

IIRC I was investigating a click fraud or impression fraud issue and I came across an entire site written in this fashion.

They were doing something funky with the ad tags that loaded on the page. Clearly they think it will deter people from discovering their naughty misdeeds
