Yeah, I forgot to mention the case where they may be necessary after/during compression to make the track louder. Thank you for reminding me.
But plainly increasing the volume and then limiting it to make your track louder can cause many negative effects, for example quickening attack and decay, greatly weakening your kick/bassdrum, etc. Instead you would want to use a compressor or something similar.
TL;DR: Compression + Volume Management > Limiters (most of the time)
Of course, many compressors work as limiters, and that is fine.
