When you move a plant to a bigger pot you need something to help trim the roots to encourage them to grow outwards in the new pot. Otherwise the root ball will not spread out into the new pot and remain impacted. Also certain plants like orchids can be split into two plants, which also requires cutting them. There are plenty of other things you can do gardening wise with a machete as well.
