I should clarify that I see the value of encryption at rest for something like an employee laptop, which could be left at a bar (while powered off) by accident.
I just don't get the value of it for always online servers.

You can remove storage devices from online servers, without interruption. Said devices will contains data that could be "lost" that way. Hence: encryption at rest.
