These days, I see jump boxen used for routing reasons more than security. VPNs won long ago.
A user may be permitted to connect from their laptop to a specific server, but not be able to route there. This is common when navigating dispirate networks - i.e. VPN to router to VDI to virtual switch to office to datacenter to managed appliance to VM. It's usually cheaper and easier to have users RDP thru a middle server than have a network architect troubleshoot.
