Another use case - to see whether the wiki recognizes the
'require_once("...extensionName.php");' placed in LocalSettings.php worked at
all.  If you have been answering help requests on msusers.com for a long time,
you'd recognize how often this is a useful thing.  It's the fastest way to get
the answer to the question "Are you sure the extension is installed?"  As such,
this use case is only required for admins.

BTW - as far as differences with $wgSpecialVersionShowHooks:  If other features
are not handled by rights, that should not influence whether new features
should be handled by rights.  A global on/off and limited restrictions on
actions are not the same thing.  Whether $wgSpecialVersionShowHooks should have
been restricted to sysops or not is another question.  In general, if previous
implementations of features have been handled incorrectly, that should be
fixed, not used an as example of how to do things in the future.
