This is useful because it allows users to deploy a more private and lightweight Electrum Server without sending data to, or receiving from, other people. It doesn't become part of the public Electrum Server Network.
In addition, a lot of wallets are giving users the option to connect to Electrum Server remotely. Electrum Personal Server is gaining a lot of popularity and wallet developers could just use a EPS integration to let their users connect to a remote node without having to build all the infrastructure to fetch UTXOs, index, api, etc.
