A lot of reasons to profile this if you want to advertise battery life. Internally it let's you collect metrics on apps threatening your battery life promises and externally it gives the consumers the ability to accurately blame apps when they get lower than expected battery life. For example they can notice that safari uses less power than chrome or that final cut uses way more power than they expected, etc etc

They don't want end users to have access to battery life stats. The took that out a few OS X versions ago. They don't people to say, after the last updated I get 1 hour less battery life, WTF?

Battery stats are available in the Battery System Pref pane and that has not changed. There is also some health information in the System Profiler (Apple Menu/About This Mac/System Report).
