This is sometimes useful when performing analyses on the generated
machine code: for example, some kinds of code verifiers will want to do
a control-flow analysis, and it is much easier to do this if one does
not have to recover the CFG from the machine code (doing so requires
heavyweight analysis when indirect branches are involved). If one trusts
the control-flow lowering and only needs to verify other properties of
the code, this can be very useful.
