See it regularly at work and have used it. Makes it clear you are requesting response/reply from both individuals and makes it clear there are 2 recipients.
Don’t know why posters are intrigued/opposed to it...

I just think it looks awkward, and have never seen it at work. If it's for 2 people, I address it to "Bob and Josephine,". If a third person needs to be addressed, it becomes "All,".

I think it's because it's not how I would speak to people. I have addressed a group of people as "All" (or, more frequently, "Y'all"), but I have never said "Both" in speech to address two people. So, I might walk up to a group & say "Hi, all!", but wouldn't walk up to two people and say "Hi, both!"
