Why promote to rook or bishop when you can promote to queen?

I understand that you might want to promote to a knight in rare occasions, but why is rook and bishop an option when you can have a queen?
Maybe to put your opponent in stalemate instead of avoiding it? idk really =\
Some people might want to challenge themselves to go for a harder checkmate... I'm not exactly sure...
queen delivers stalemate is the reason.
