Is there any other scenario where we use it, which you have encountered?

#1 Makes the data type available for use by other objects, for example, pickers and process variables.
#2 Data types created from WSDL are hidden by default. Data types created by any other method are visible by default.
#3 When using multiple application servers, the data type visibility is only updated in the cache of the application server you are logged into. The cache of any other application server is updated upon the next restart. To avoid restarting your application servers, log into each application server individually as this updates the data type visibility in each application server's cache.

Another scenario if when you create the CDT from a schema imported in a WSDL. IN that case the CDT will be created as hidden

Typically, I would use the hide from pickers if it was a deprecated CDT that I wouldn't want other developers to include in their apps.
