This feature also enables to create a highly secure offline cold-key that never interacts with any webapp and delegate Stake Permission as exclusive (delegator loses permission) & irrevocable to the new key. If your main key gets compromised the tokens cannot be unstaked and hence not transferred. However, an attacker could attempt to immediately transfer as soon as you choose to unstake. But as long as staked, tokens are untouchable.

It's not a perfect security feature and as standard practice it will eventually be replaced by Transfer Permissions, but it is a meaningful improvement and we recommend high-value keys to apply it.
