This is one of the most useful and direct controls we have to affect the visual experience. It allows the user to directly control the view out the window, trade off visuals for frame rate and smoothness on older hardware or complex scenery, and trade off realism of flight experience for the simple pleasure of looking out the window for those more into tourism. It can be useful for modifying a built-in weather scenario that's close but not exactly what is wanted. In short, it allows even the newest user to control their FlightGear visual experience according to their particular use case and need for realism. I have no problem at all with disabling the keys when (say) advanced weather is selected, but for several classes of users and types of use, it really is an important capability and is used often.
