The reason people would want these are because they might not be able to use dampeners with a carbon fiber hood. For example, if you bought Grimmspeed Hood struts and used them on a stock hood, you'd get tons more clearance because they use a "third" hole already drilled on the stock hood instead of two holes like other hood dampeners. The Seibon hood struts only have two holes for hood dampeners, so they aren't compatible with some struts like the amazing Grimmspeed ones. I hope this makes sense. It's pretty hard to explain. The only reason I know about this is because I have the Grimmspeed Hood struts and ended up getting a carbon fiber hood and couldn't use them together.
