`narrow-to-region' is not for experts only.  It is disabled by default
because the thought is that if you don't expect it then you could get
confused, especially if you invoked it accidentally (e.g., by key).
But it nevertheless has a key binding by default.

I don't expect that `mark-line' is very useful.  But I can see
someone wanting to use something like `narrow-to-line' (especially
with very long lines).

(Of course, `C-a C-SPC C-e C-x n' does the same thing, except for
keeping the cursor where it was.)
