AFAIK one use-case is RAP. It's a single RAP application which runs
multiple times ("per session singletons"). You don't want to compose
composite bundles just for that. ;)

It's not only singletons but API as well. Some of the APIs just aren't
ready for a contextual runtime. Then there are other requirements as
well (eg., security). I tried to capture some ideas in the wiki
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gyrex/Concepts/Contextual_Runtime) long time
ago. A prototype is available in our CVS which is based on the e4
context implementation. But I haven't had time to update it to the
recent e4 API changes yet.
