Probably for a similar reason that Magneto Optical discs were popular for long term archiving. Lawyers, governments and the like tend to store or have to store documents for a very long time.
The question is how well the cost compares with other long term archival mediums.

But 1k years? The chances of you finding something to play it on that isn't controlled by Skynet are slim ;)

Well quite.
I'm guessing it's just a better solution than having to reburn DVDR/RW's every couple of years.

Sony will buy the company out, otherwise it won't be able to release a "new" and "improved" disc format for the consumer drone idiots to go out and replace their Vince Vaughan and Bourne box sets every five years.
