It's also useful when all the files (or at least many of them)
start with the same prefix and you'd rather not have to repeat that
prefix.
Oh, and also when the prefix includes characters which you don't really
know how to type.
And I'm sure there are several other very legitimate use case.

PS: Being able to "read" is important, but being able to imagine someone
else's use cases (which I guess is what we call "empathy") is quite
handy too.
