Aspect Ratio Adjustment = Useless or... Useless?

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone help me understand in what possible way cropping part of your scene or showing bars of background color is in any way helpful?I'm referring of course to the new 0.10.1 feature "Aspect Ratio Adjustment":

Crop
Letterbox
Are there any practical uses?
Because obviously cutting off an edge of your screen is not "ideal", and neither is showing two bars of any color.
Also of note; crop seems to do exactly what it says, after scene calculations. That is, it is cropped after all your placement behaviours take effect, the top portion is just thrown away. If it were to crop the camera before calculating the scene, then if you told something to always be 50 pixels from the roof of the camera, it would be in the correct place after (This would be one step closer to a universal build).
