Non sparking applications or where a softer metal is needed to not scratch the workpiece.
Be carefull, those picks could be beryllium copper. It's similar in appearance and the dust from grinding or sharpening is very harmful to breathe.

Or adjusting things are are sensitive to magnetic parts (CRT TV repair is probably what they were from).

I want brass picks.
As much as I use picks, sometimes they scratch, or have to be careful not to scratch, the work piece.
Looks like SCUBA guys use them for their O-Rings....https://www.google.com/search?q=Bra...Y6kh56MxwIVhYCSCh2iZgHf#imgrc=nbCTIb7EfajM_M:
