Why would Xeons need different cooling unless you're setting up a dual CPU server?

They wouldn't, but this site isn't just for gaming PC enthusiasts.

no server will need this since they are stored away in a dedicated, temperature controlled room. why pay a ton for a cooler when the stock one works just fine?

Folders actually use them alot for their 2p and 4p rigs.
As for commercial servers, I don't think that they would use them.

Plenty of people have DP systems in their workspace. While most are going to choose a workstation board which use square ILMs, some will go for server boards due to cost, features and smaller footprint. Noctua are responding to demand for something here.

Generally, the better the cooling solution, the longer the component lasts thus giving you a better ROI on servers/parts.
