Cant speak for smit but I would assume he wants to work around something? Maybe he does not trust his ISP or someone else?
For me I want to be able to remote into my network and access my stuff remotely. Dangling a smb share on the internet is a bad idea. I could do something like an ftp server but why not get more and get access to my VMs, file shares, and remote control access to any computer in my house. If you have 1 computer it is 100% useless. If you have 5 it becomes more interesting...
