A diffuser like this helps spread the light source relative to the subject, even if only by a little bit. That can be a nice plus, even for a very low powered flash, to reduce harshness.
I've used a big pill bottle, roughly jammed over a small flash, to successfully add a touch of soft fill in some situations. It's a very old technique ... I was doing it in 1969. It's what inspired me to buy a flash meter as it pre-dated all TTL flash metering.
