I don't really understand the purpose to be honest. With the exceptions of interfaces that are explicitly designed to simulate physical environments, what's the point? Flat designs are a logical consequence of form reflecting function, you're interacting with digital, binary elements that are on or off. Skeuomorphism existed because familiarity of mechanical or analog elements was maybe useful for someone who didn't know digital interfaces, but we've grown out of this.

A finger or mouse is not a "digital, binary element", it needs to be actively pointed at and grab stuff. The whole point and "function" of 3D depth in UI is to highlight things that you can aim at and grab.
