Why do you use glass syringes (other than microliter syringes)?

My lab has a drawer of glass syringes, 1 to 30 mL. Nobody uses them. I have been thinking about them lately because I wonder if they can be appreciably drier or more air free than plastic. But given that everyone uses plastic, I figure they're probably not that useful.

Any cases where they'd be beneficial over plastic? I mean, with plastic you leach plasticizers which can show up on GCMS or whatever. But with glass syringes you leach grease…
