The main use of 12" 45's seems to be for club and radio station play.
The larger disc is quite a bit easier to cue.  It's also easier to find
parts of songs for scratch-mixing.  (This in addition to the increased
fidelity).

A byproduct seems to be mass-consumer interest in shelling out four or
five dollars for two songs.  As well as a collectors market that has
sprung up around promotion-only 12" releases.
