There are a few situations where it was useful. First relates to updating
QUDT, which was briefly discussed in this thread:
https://groups.google.com/g/topbraid-users/c/3t44aIHgXuM/m/pNVC-u_pAgAJ

If I wanted to maintain a separate copy of QUDT as asset collections there
might be collisions between the graph URIs of the files and the external
URIs of the Asset Collections which could cause some confusion. But the
versions included can't be deleted or modified (easily) without Files since
it is not in a project.

Additionally, sometimes tweaks need to be made to those files to fix
certain issues. For example, we use and/or import several ontologies that
import some of the common ontologies included with EDG. Some of these don't
meet all of the default constraints EDG has, so I have been replacing those
files with fixed versions to prevent those errors from occuring anywhere
they're imported. DCTERMS is an example of this; importing DCTERMS as-is
will result in ~25 SHACL warnings about classes in DCTERMS not having a
named superclass. I suppose I could have another asset collection or file
in a project that imports DCTERMS and adds those things, but that's another
level of complexity and indirection that I'd rather not have. If it was the
case that the included common ontologies were a project, it would be
trivial to update them and push them from Studio.

Hope that makes sense.
