I can think of several reasons for renting a lens:

- It's a specialized lens for which you have no long-term need.

- You want to try out an expensive lens before you (perhaps) buy it.

- You expect to buy a different lens that will eliminate the need for this one.

Etc., etc. Others will undoubtedly be able to come up with more.
