Why are there Double Pole and Single Pole switched sockets?

What's the point of paying more for a Double Pole Switch Socket as opposed to a single pole one?

single pole only breaks live, double pole breaks live and neutral

Surely unplugging the appliance always breaks all poles???

You might want to break live and neutral with a switch if you can't unplug it. An electric shower, for instance.
