Other than being married to consular staff, I would think it difficult to attain more than 2 nationalities.
Well in the case of EU & US they'd gain the right to live and work anywhere in the EU & US on a permanent basis. The other good reason is that it can reduce the need for pre-arranging visas or at least significantly reduce their cost.
As for attaining more than 2 nationalities - it's quite simple especially when the US allows citizenship by virtue of birth - so a couple with different nationalities who give birth in the US would automatically give their child 3 citizenships. Then you have parents who themselves have multiple citizenships and it becomes easy to have 5 or more separate citizenships
