Wafer thin ham

There's a scale of ham from rubbery "more processed" to crumbly "less processed"

Wafer thin is a lot more suited for rubbery ham and the thinner you get it the less apparent how rubbery it is.

You'll end up with half the ham being crumbs if you cut "less processed" ham too thin.
 
As long as its still decent ham, and not the square slices of rubbish.
There are a few reasons.
A smaller, lighter feeling for more delicate uses, on a cracker etc
The main reason in whatever is though is more surface area and texture. Changing the mouthfeel from a block of meat to something lighter and with more flavour per slice. Texture is generally better and easier to eat if one is putting a lot in sandwich too, compared with basically a pork chop.
