... but why?

Because they can?

I just find it pointless, especially since most new gaming motherboards have M.2 covered with quite large heatsinks ... and M.2 sockets are usually next to a graphics card so tubes/fittings won't really fit.
I wish to see someone connecting tubes to all M.2, RAM, CPU, GPU, chipset, VRM ...

This...

...and this...

But yeah, and M.2 sockets that don't have a heatsink is likely on a budget board. I guess this would be good for the primary (top) m.2 sockets above the PCIe... but again, you need to remove some (potentially) nice heatsinks, and use some angled barbs I'd imagine.
