Because if the visible portion doesn't interest or concern you the hidden portion probably doesn't either.

See, what you did there was stupid. You purposefully went out of your way to use it to hide something you wanted an answer to.
Here are some off the top of my head simple scenarios;
Current events; post the story, keep your own thoughts on the matter hidden except to someone else willing to share their thoughts.
Site Discussion: post your idea and keep certain aspects of it reply only
Shenanigans obviously has abusive uses for it.
Speakeasy, similar to current affairs, except instead of a news article, your own whatever you want to tell about & talk about.
Shady Tree, separate your commentary on the story from the actual story
forum games, keep stuff hidden from people who aren't actually playing the game. or haven't started playing the game.
Is it really so hard to think of legitimate reasonable uses for a feature because it's so new you want to do nothing but screw around with it and be a nuisance?
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
