I use Bcc for my monthly (more or less) reports to people sponsoring my
work on LilyPond.  The nominal recipient is myself then.  Most people
don't _want_ their mail address to be distributed to a lot of people
when they are not member of an actual discussion group.

This is similar for mailing lists mostly used for announcements: not
everybody subscribing to announcements wants to have his address
advertised to other recipients.
