Well sample size of 1 and all that but I can attest to at least my legit use case. I'm hosting some friends-and-family small services from home and front them with a couple Hidden Services. That gives me some measure of mutual privacy from my users as well as strict access control via auth being baked in the transport protocol. The alternative would have been providing a dynamic DNS type URL, mucking around with LetsEncrypt and the DNS provider periodically and then implementing all access control in the servers. I'm lazy, Tor works for this use case and I'm lucky my users understand the 3 steps to configure their Tor browser so I'm sold on the usefulness of this mechanism!
