The only purpose I can think of would be to _replace_ a global filetype plugin with either your own or a more recent version from vim.sf.net. By adding the appropriate code to a plugin in ~/.vim/ftplugin, you can prevent the code in the global plugin from being executed. (See ":help ftplugin-overrule" and ":help ftplugin".) Otherwise, whether you're making changes to the settings made by a global filetype plugin or creating your own filetype plugin for a file type for which there is no global filetype plugin, you might as well just put it in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin.
