Comment 37 for bug 375323

You probably mean "superfluous" rather than "useless". But even "superfluous" is incorrect in my opinion. It is not only to be able to render text labels by LaTeX, it is also to be able to replace them with arbitrary LaTeX code. I've made heavy use of this feature in the past years. Although I can't present statistics, I'm very sure that only in trivial cases people just want to adjust the font when using psfrag. And I really don't want to have dollar signs or LaTeX command sequences with 30+ characters in my Inkscape drawings.
