For our use case, we ran into a few players hoarding literal thousands of items (many 1x1 items filled into 1x1 containers, filled across many inventory tabs) which would cause any of our scripts that needed to loop over inventories to TMI. Getting an item count without hitting TMI in nwscript allows us to create a discord alert and warning messages for that player, or alter behavior of scripts that need to loop their inventory.
Another niche use.
