It doesn't affect lighting of the scene or cast shadows unless you specify otherwise. Therefore being very useful for example for putting background planes behind windows, as it will not alter lighting of your scene in any way.... yet it will show the background behind windows and in reflections.

Also handy for architectural stylized people to get that balance between real enough for scale and maybe shadow but not so real they are distracting.
