I'll give you my favorite dumbass example of political reasons to use
restricted ABVs.[1]

Executives don't want to be e-mailed by lowly forklift operator, so they
create an ABV where forklift operator can only see other lowly peons, and
their immidiate supervisors in the GAL.. executives get a GAL view where
they can see everyone.

That being said, there are plenty of legitimate reasons one might want to
use restricted ABVs in a corporate environment.. like when contractors are
brought on for a project and need only basic e-mail access, and giving them
access to the entire GAL represents a security risk.

[1] _Thankfully_ this example is not something I was ever forced to
implement for my or any other company, but I know it's been done.

I too have multiple views, but did not think of the hosting angle.
Political forces definitely are a pain in the outbox.

Can't you hide system objects?  or are you alluding to something other
than objects that should not be recipients showing up in plain view for
all the world to see.
