Callout comments are a very useful feature for the PDF users. These are often used as pointers and to make note of some important points in the document. In situations where users don't wish to edit the document or add any additional information in the body of document, but are willing to record pointers or provide points to information in the document, these comments come handy. Also, if there are any resources like graphs or images are being used in the document, the author could add notes about that resources in the comment.
