You asked why in the world the company would ever do that?
Here's a possible scenario for domestic augmentation:

A route that is not flown daily. Maybe only weekly.

Where there are no pilots laying over to bring the plane back.
Instead of having the jet sit for 12 hours while the pilots sleep, they augment the crew and fly a turn.
