VHDL can be used for much more than just hardware description. Through the foreign function interface, much additional sophistication can be linked into the discrete-event core. Complex application software can be created. It's just another programming paradigm. I think it's the same argument as it is for any compiler. Even in the realm of hardware models, I can imagine a scenario where it might be desirable to distribute a simulation executable to potential customers without the requirement of forfeiting the VHDL.
