The 1/4 pyramid could be used for the peak of a 2 sided hip roof (in the armpit
of an "L" shaped building on a square/rectangular base.
The 1/4 pyramid (1x1 double convex) and the 1x1 double concave have a lot of
uses besides on a roof. For example you could use either of these types on
facet bricks like this one in Bricklink:

With 2x2 double convex or 2x2 double concave you could only use 2 of those types
(and not cover all concave/convex studs) whereas with the 1x1 double convex or
double concave, you could use 3 of them to cover all concave/convex studs.
