USB Hub Doesn't Stint On Ports
Given the current fashion for making just about everything USB powered (fans, coffee cup warmers, soft-drink coolers, pole dancers, etc) I could see all sixteen ports on this mega hub being used up pretty quickly. Still, if your desk is still untainted with relatively pointless tat and you're more of a functional USB user then I guess you could see it as future-proofing.

A built-in power supply means your USB powered nose-hair trimmer will never run short of juice (although in the end you might run short of hair), and you can switch between two host PCs for more sensible purposes like printer and scanner sharing.
