Some plugins like iZotope RX modules are too CPU intense to run in realtime. Sometimes for other FX you just want to destructively process a small section here and there and have it locked in.
Item FX are great, and Pro Tools now offers similar clip FX but neither are a good replacement for AudioSuite which is still useful to me, even with item/clip FX.
Pro Tools style playlists also makes AudioSuite non-destructive in a way because you can always flip back to an earlier playlist with the unprocessed audio.
Also, I'm usually talking about very small edits (sometimes just a few milliseconds and usually less than 1 or 2 seconds, not large chunks. Printing the track with item FX running live is not quite ideal compared to AudioSuite processing.
