They're great for putting a warmer surface down on a cement floor, as a temporary solution. I picked up a bunch of slightly used ones years back with the idea that I was going to sound proof a room, but never did. Then my dad ended up using them to cover the basement floor for several years until they finished it. He never had to worry about "ruining" the carpet when he was working down there.

some styles of carpet are densely piled, and are put down via glue... next time you go into a government building look for the splits in the carpet
it's meant for extremely high traffic areas

I am thinking that carpet tiles were originally meant for more public places where wear and tear, spills and other damage might happen more frequently. You could just pay to replace the tiles that were affected.
If this is for home use, then it might depend on the kind of traffic and spills or other damage you expect. I guess in a baby/toddler room it might make more sense to replace a tile or 2 as opposed to the entire room.
Is it easier and more cost effective to replace the occasional carpet tile in heavier traffic areas? If I ever own anything I will likely skip carpet altogether in any main rooms.
