Especially in CX, you might want to know during test laps how the course is "acting" on that day so you can tune your tire pressure, and in XC MTB where you might want to lower pressure for certain sections and raise it for others.
Presumably, one ought to already know the tire pressure during a ride, as a person normally inflates the tires before rolling out.

Now if you could adjust the tire pressure during a ride without stopping, that could be interesting. But this expensive doodad doesn't appear to do that.
