I'm still struggling to think of a real-world situation where a
file would _have_ to be created as rw-rw-rw- or rwxrwxrwx.

There may be a need to grant more than one user write access. CGI scripts are running as the webserver user by default, and if you let e.g. sendmail start a process, another user may appear.

Personally I prefer to handle these situations via GID, but you may
not have permissions to create groups and change GID.
