Convenience and size, not particularly because of utility. As a long ago ex server, it was (a) because its small size allowed you to carry it in your pocket and (b) it allowed you to open with one hand while holding the bottle in the other without ever placing it on the table before it was opened.
The fancy crap models beat the waiter style hands down in alignment of the corkscrew itself. No more danger of going in at a slightly off kilter angle and ending up with flecks of cork floating in the bottle and the first pour.
