Mea culpa! Got that one clarified at #koha :-)

Automation and ease-of-use. With newbie users that I'm training up on
Ubuntu/Koha combination, it is easier to have them run a "command" rather than
fire up an editor, locate the line and change 0 to 1. FWIW, these are not
technically savvy people and I've faced several cases of accidental deletion of
other crucial lines / insertion of extraneous characters while making these
small changes. These are largely train-and-let-go users whose only tech support
is via telephone. The installations typically do not have Internet access.

But yes, this is a niche case, and perhaps do not map into regular Koha users.
