I can think of an application for large numbers of terminals and a single mouse, one that I may need to impliment for multiple sites within the year: A NOC monitoring system for a global enterprise.
Think of shelves with a dozen monitors running various log and system status monitors in front of an operators desk. Could be done with a dozen computers, but it's easier to secure one machine.
Of course there would possibly be more than one of the above in a main facility.
So yes, there are good real world reasons for being able to handle n monitors where n is a largish number.
