You can do things with that data besides rendering or using it as a route
location.

If the data is more or less complete, you can process it to get the number
of addresses on a street or in an area (for example, if you want to
distribute a folder to the entire street).
Or as a postal service, you can check if that address needs a flat number,
and suggest a list of flats to the users.

Like that, I always considered the values worth to be in OSM, even if it's
all on the same door/building. Though it's obviously a lot less important
than housenumbers.
