I don't know where you drive, but in Boston and NYC, the only way to spot the deep potholes (i.e., anything bewtween 6" and 9") is to use the foglights to highlight the holes a few seconds before you hit them...
Also, on tight roads which run through dense forests, the extra light thrown onto the sides of the roads allows that little bit of extra safety margin to not hit deer or foxes...
But I guess those are all "dumb" reasons...
