Here's a concrete example of how this might be used in practice...
Imagine you collect old computers as a hobby. You have just procured an old BBC Micro on eBay that was sold as "untested". You plug it in and all you get is a blank screen and the long beep of death. You stare at the circuit board for a while, re-seat a few chips that are socketed, probe around with an Oscilloscope, but nothing obvious leaps out. If something subtle is preventing the host processor from executing code, it's often hard to know where to start. This is where an in-circuit emulator comes into it's own, because it doesn't require the host system to be fully functional to be useful.

You unplug the 6502 processor (which is in a 40 pin DIP socket) and plug in the GODIL loaded with ICE-T65 design. ICE-T65 contains a fully functional 6502 processor, plus a second arduino compatible processor running an interactive debugger application via an independent serial port.
