I can’t think of a not insane reason anyone would need one.

At work, I have a freezer with a couple thousand dollars of product in it. If I lost power and only had male plugs to jerryrig the generator into the circuit, I would. BUT only after turning the mains off and padlocking the panel shut. I didn't have to do that as I just wired the generator directly to the freezer after disconnecting it from the mains.

Wait, an electrical outlet can be an inlet too?

Mains outlets aren't smart, they're just wiring with contact points. If you feed power into an outlet, it'll energize the circuit it's on, which is a bad idea if your mains circuit breaker isn't off.
