Security always comes at the price of userfriendlyness. If you have a system
that is used for development, as a desktop or a test machine I've not found
much use for it either. If you on the other hand run a system as a server
with a workload that does not change often (i.e. running the same app over
and over again by different users) it gives you an additional layer of
security.
