Another use would be to ask people to run slapcat -b cn=monitor when
they report an issue and don't have their build environment available
(e.g. because they didn't build slapd at all :).
Requiring the jump through a database seems unnecessary, it could just
be a standard option to slapd and all of the slap tools. Or just slapd
and slaptest. Or ...
In particular, if OpenLDAP was built with --disable-monitor then the
information would be inaccessible. Not too useful, eh?
