One possible scenario where this might be sensible.
You have two applications, which are not RAC-compliant -
i.e. no chance of two-node RAC scaling at all.

For resilience purposes, you set up application A
with node1 its active node and node2 its passive node;
then set up application B so that node 2 is its active
node and node1 its passive node.

Each application is (close to) running on a dedicated
server system, but with a failover position where both
applications will be running on one server.
