Just why?

This issue appears to be facetious but I would like to know too. If it’s a useful tool a use-case section in the readme would be helpful!

Why not? ;) Seriously, I think it is utterly important to have people to poke around with the technology we have to see the limits or possibilities we could not think of in the first place. There are always bad actors which try to do the same but are using their insights against all of us. So doing fun stuff in the open is much better. Also there is a useful aspect. Every (larger) company is using nmap in some of there security software. Why not having a much faster version, which by the way also tests the capabilities of your network.
