The 80 MHz frequency suits high-speed serial interfaces (Ethernet, PCIe reference clocks) and processor core timing where a quartz crystal would need a separate PLL to reach that rate.
Standby power-down for battery-backed designs
In a battery-backed ECU or sensor module that spends most of its life asleep, this cuts the oscillator's draw from 16.6 mA to near-zero — the disable current is lower than the self-discharge of a typical coin cell.
