How does that help make a better photograph? If the camera/lens will
focus
where the photographer wants the focus to be, what difference does it
make
if the camera knows the focusing distance?
The camera can use the information to make sure the flash will reach the
subject. The camera might use the information to improve/fine tune matrix
metering.
By the way, according to the KMP, F-lenses already communicate distance
information. FA lenses only added mtf-data (individually determined for
each lens, according to rumour), and of course powerzoom on some zooms.

Some years ago I've been confirmed by a Pentax designer that FA lenses
have
more advanced electronics, telling the camera the focusing distance
(among
other things). That's the reason for having FA-series prime lenses.
