I do work in that space and the reason we use stuff like this is that we can't afford to do the processing up front as it reduces our capacity and makes people wait. The MQ solutions allow complicated logic to be deferred until later, allow it to take as much time as it needs (sometimes our transactions are open for hours or even days) and allow us to do integration and calls to other systems.

Enterprise software has turned into a somewhat derogatory term thanks to conjecture but the stuff you don't hear about works pretty well and performs like nothing you've ever seen before.
