I always buy double end mills on account of cost, but I'm curious. What application requires a single end mill?

A short end mill holder. Also, some collets aren't deep enough to take a double end mill.

My mill uses 30 taper toolholders, and some of them are pretty short for a double-ended tool.

I have some fairly long single end mills, about four inches.

Some endmills are larger that the shank of the endmill holder. The hole for the mill is not deep enough for a double end mills to go in to the locking flat.

Flute length and taper are two reasons. And cost to a lesser extent.
Take care.
