In case you want to enable use a DCOP client in an application without
GPLing it or buying a Qt license. (not my cup of tea, but I'm not saying
others should not, GPL says nothing about communicating with other
applications)

Or in case you want to create a remote DCOP client on a system without Qt.
DCOP as protocol itself could be implemented without Qt, no? At least I got
the impression that it would be nice to see DCOP appear outside of KDE as
well.
