Bullet vending machines? Just in case you find yourself running low on bullets while out and about in the city? "Damn it. They're out of Snickers bars so I guess I'll just settle for some 9mm."
Same reason as any other vending machine, impulse buys.
Ammo should never be an impulse buy, and I say this as a strong proponent of the 2A.
Want or need?
Always the question.
