I can’t think of a not insane reason anyone would need one.
At work, I have a freezer with a couple thousand dollars of product in it. If I lost power and only had male plugs to jerryrig the generator into the circuit, I would. BUT only after turning the mains off and padlocking the panel shut. I didn't have to do that as I just wired the generator directly to the freezer after disconnecting it from the mains.
Wait, an electrical outlet can be an inlet too?
Any outlet can be an inlet if you are daring enough (don't do it with water mains though)
