The only valid use I can think of: Just what you need if your setup
causes a cable you already own to be 1" too short. If the equipment is
rack mounted, the only options might be the adapter or a longer cable.
The adapter is cheaper than buying a longer cable. Admittedly not a
common scenario!

The picture looks like a gender changer, but the description is male to
male, so no change. Maybe just a mis print. Lots of that comes From
China and you have to convert the Chinglesh to something you cn
understand.

Look closely at the pins. One is the reverse layout from the other.

Why, I have no clue :-(
