It can come in handy to be able to mount ISOs programmatically.
For instance if you're developing a custom appliance (that automatically installs itself on the hard drive volume)
that you want to automatically test on every successful build (given the ISO is uploaded to the vmware datastore).
There are probably lots of other reasons for using this functionality.

Since we merged this so that the community could collaborate on
improvements, I thought it would be prudent to inform potential users of
the status of the provider so they know what to expect.
