The sync content plugin copies content - the database, and the data folders if you designate any. This is the opposite of copying code. Very, very often we want to bring our dev boxes up to date with the real-world content on a staging server... but only the content, not the code. The newer code, of course, is already on the development box (via svn).
If you are testing only with contrived fixtures data you will have trouble reproducing real users' problems in a debugging environment. Thanks to the sync plugin we are nearly always able to reproduce exactly what is happening in production on our own laptops with the debug controller enabled, make our code tweaks and then deploy the new code knowing it works with the real data.
