Should only be used with extreme caution and if you know what you are doing.

Ok. What is the actual use case for “rm -rf /“ even if you know what you are doing and using extreme caution? If you want to wipe a disk, there are better ways to do it, and you certainly wouldn’t want that disk mounted on / when you do it, right?

There isn't. It's just the fact that it will. The command can/is used often to remove other directories
