Michigan Left intersection

At first I thought it was a joke. But sure enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_left

So many questions. Is there ever a traffic setting where this can be considered good? I know roundabouts in the US are considered socialist (or some other comparable reasoning), but this seems ridiculous.

A Michigan left generally allows through traffic on the minor crossroads to proceed straight across the major road or highway, especially on the more heavily traveled minor roads.

That sure makes it sound like a situation for an over/underpass with simple ramps for the major road / highway.
