--- Comment #7 from László Németh <nemeth at numbertext.org> ---
It seems, there is a good use case in desktop publishing: this is the "Desired
word spacing", which is with Minimum and Maximum word spacing options allows to
remove rivers (white tunnels over the consecutive lines) and unnecessary/too
frequent hyphenation. Likely the best use case is for using very small font
sizes: without optical font sizes, you must enlarge the desired word spacing to
get readable text.

For example, desired word spacing in Affinity Publisher:

and in Adobe InDesign:
