It seemed pretty clear that the GP was saying if the platform already shows points/likes, hiding them only from yourself is a disadvantage.

With that said, I believe it can function similar to all those no-procrastination tools; allowing those that want to stop the feedback loop of likes to ween themselves off of it. More of a personal growth tool than a societal solution.
