I've used it in several communities to prove identity and statements in cases where I both have either authority or a need to be trusted, since I choose to remain pseudonymous.
It's easier for people to grasp/verify than the alternative ("pure PGP"). They go to /verify, paste in my message, and make sure it confirms as me. Keybase being compromised is outside the scope of the threat model - the threat model is mostly "impostors pretending to be me trying to get you to download potentially harmful files". People have no reason to know who I am but they do have a need to verify I am who I say I am.
