I don't know of "goals that commonly lead to using this option", sorry.
AFAIK it's not used commonly (after all, it's brand new in Emacs-30).

Most of the requests for it I have seen were either of the "make the API
complete" kind of argument, or examples like Jonas' (which are
inherently tightly tied to a particular keymap and a particular binding
in that map, so the chance of bumping into an odd corner case is
significantly reduced).
