Accepting BTC via a company that converts it to USD immediately is great for high-risk operations. Like, suppose you sell VoIP online to anyone. You're going to have a ton of fraud. BTC allows you to work with legitimate companies and re-sellers without having to worry about credit checks.
It's also handy for light hiding of your ID with respect to the store. If I purchase some degenerate online service from a company and pay using BTC, the chances of _them_ getting my actual name are far, far, less than if I use a credit card in my own name. (And buying prepaid cards is more of a hassle.)
