If you wanted to create a font-generating NN and are worried about future IP laws deciding NNs are not transformative but mere derivative works of the training data, this would be potentially interesting. And if you wanted to ever sell such a business, say, to a certain private equity-owned company with $200m+ in annual revenue, it would be very useful to be able to show during due diligence that you had belt-and-suspenders your NN's data and it didn't all have to be thrown out & restarted from scratch.
