Well, if the cost of computation is not too relevant, and if you don't explicitly need the ability to craft collisions, why would you use a non-cryptographic hash function?
Like, when I'm building a lookup index for files, I'm going to use sha-(something), because it's easy and well known. I don't particularly care about the security aspect; I care that everyone immediately knows the contract of sha-1.
