It's a robust, simple and versatile sort of joint specialized in suspending heavy objects and modular construction. It's a sort of universal bearing of the space age, commonly used in every day items and industrial equipment. Mobile suits use it primarily for high strain parts like heavy gear or transformation systems. The TR Plan makes particularly heavy use of the concept (together with bellows frame and movable frame) but it's been used before and long afterwards too.
In most cases a movable frame structure does everything you could ask of a mobile suit but there are cases where an alternative approach is more effective.
The pic here >>23302676 details the IRL story of how it was designed, working back from existing mecha like Oggo, GP00 or the Gaza series based on the publisher's request. It's also born from model kit engineering requirements which Fujioka chose to interpret in a positive way, serving as basis for an in-universe engineering principle rather than just brushing it off as "it's for the sake of plastic kits".
