Yea, thinking about it again, Peter's reasoning is totally true.
The options that many people tend to use that I have seen in the forums are
(or group of people that is):
--incognito (they always want to browse invincible)
--bookmark-menu (many use this because they want a cleaner UI with no
bookmark bar)
--user-dir (some people want to change the location instead of the default)
I could see the reasoning for them too.
