There are certainly instances where I've needed to used matrices to solve a system of equations in an automated way. But most of time it's simply not needed,

If we're going to have a class that supports matrix multiplication, I think we should at least have the ability to invert a square matrix.

And once you have the machinery for that, it's only a small step to use it for solving systems of equations, so we might as well provide that too. It would cost very little extra, and might be useful.
