Question Spinning reels...why a reverse?

With all the problems that can be associated with the anti-reverse on spinning reels, I’ve often wondered what useful purpose there is for the reverse in the first place.
Does anyone actually feed line by reeling in reverse?
Manufacturers have added innovations like “infinite anti-reverse” and the “free-spool” feature…so why not just eliminate reverse entirely?
Has anyone found an absolutely indispensable use for it?
Forgive me if I’ve missed something glaringly obvious, but I’ve never found it anything but a pain in the a$$.
