12" 45 RPM records: What's the story?

What's the advantage of producing these? If there is one, why aren't they all 45RPM?

It can't be removed throughout the music and is a significant problem with very old archived tapes.

It will explain adjacent groove deformation due to a number issues involved in the cutting process.
