I can't speak for the person you replied to, but I rely on a product to "store" pictures so I can access them when I'm not at my main computer. I'd like to show them to others using my phone, share them with other computers (like my wife's) so she can edit some, or add to the collections, and they are also accessible to the machines hosting my web sites, so that others can browse the ones I choose to publish. Encrypted backups are great for recovery, but they don't address many other useful features of these additional products.
