Say you want to raise money on your website or have a publc link for people to pay you in bitcoin. Before you would put up your address but anyone can come along like a peeping Tom and see how much has been donated.
With silent payment they cant. BUT once they make a payment or a donation in this case, they can just look up the transaction they made in Mempool to see the destination address.
