I added that mode a long time ago to scratch a personal itch - at the time I was tracing very long boundary fences in Turkmenistan and after a while suffered from mild RSI from the constant mouse movements: click to set node - move mouse - click - move - click - move and then when I reached the edge of the screen, click - drag map over - and then repeat for hours on end. The new mode allowed me to keep the mouse pointer roughly somewhere right of centre, and between clicks I would only need a minimal adjustment to move the mouse pointer onto the fence line. But maybe this use case is much rarer today, and/or other JOSM input modes are meanwhile available to cater to that use case.
