Well, even if no instruments play that low (except organs and synthesizers), I think that ultra-low-bass extension is desirable because it helps to give you a better feeling for the acoustic space of the performance, particularly in live recordings. It's not so much that you hear this kind of bass, but you sort of subconsciously feel it with your whole body. It expands the soundstage beyond the walls of your listening room and improves the "you are there" experience. IME, this can be true even for music that doesn't include a lot of "musical information" down there, for example, choral works in a large cathedral.
