I think its both geek and coolness factor.
When someone in a movie like "Mission Impossible", or
a show like "X-Files", wants to transport electronic
data, they invariably use a miniCD to do so. More
likely a miniDVD, but they generally look the same as
a miniCD and thus the coolness/geek factor. You never
see Smoking Man or Tom Cruise juggling a jewel case or
DVD case, its always something small and easily palmed
like a miniCD/DVD.
