Its good to use if you actually do want a server. Servers do not need
GUIs and is actually a security risk to run one as it is an extra
service that can be exploited, so it doesnt come with one.

For example, my fileserver runs samba and has no x server, all config is
done via ssh and I edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to manage my shares.

You can install al the server apps on the desktop install as they use
the same repos, if you want a desktop system, install the desktop
system. If you need a proper server then install the server.
