Of all the reasons offered for it I only ever really saw one as legitimate(ish): making it easier for robots to parse your site, whether it's google bot or screen readers for the visually impaired.

I think it was a reaction to monolithic, single file, hundreds of divs web development styles(way before my time).

I find it much more useful to just use some sort of templating and split my html files into small chunks. At which point it doesn't matter if you code them in divs with decimal code classes, it's still pretty easy to deal with.
