Maybe if you have a download or some other long-running process that you don't want to interrupt? What I think would be useful is some way to manually use DPMS to actually power off the display. The only thing I'm aware of is using xset on Linux / X11.

I'm old enough to remember screensavers, but surely people would lock their screen for this situation rather than just load a webpage (cmd-ctrl-q on a mac apparently, and windows-L used to do it back in the 2000 days, I assume it still does it on windows)
