Hum, I would have thought that it was obvious. It can be handy in the production of a one bit monochrome image, where you don't know in advance whether averaging RGB,RG,GB,RB or just selecting one of R,G,B will produce the best monochrome scan of a colour image. Well more likely text on a colour background, or coloured text, or even a mixture of the two. All that said, I suspect that the number of people actually making use of this is rather small.
