First, it may be that you just need about 200 or 300 MBit/s, and you don't have multiple free PCI slots. Second is the autonegotiation, ideally one even doesn't need Xover cables because even this is (should be) autodetected. But the main reason is marketing - you tell your customer that "the internet will be 10 times as fast" with gigabit ethernet, and he is likely to buy it.
