It actually has a nice use case as a breach canary. Have an unprotected wallet stored on your machine with some btc on it (like 200-500 USD worth), and if you notice a transfer out from there, you can be sure your machine is compromised. This method was recently posted by a fellow HN member, unfortunately I forgot where.
Ah, yes, $200-500 USD, an amount of money that surely no one will ever miss, and everyone would feel perfectly fine throwing away as a "breach canary".
Never mind that that's, what, about a week's wages for many people?
