With the caveat that any discussion of meditation is fraught with "no true Scotsmans" and hypotheticals ...

Something that the American Theravadin Thanissaro Bhikkhu says is that meditation is "for my own benefit and the benefit of those around me."

E.g., during a disagreement with someone, you remain calm and avoid giving the other person a "piece of your mind".

The other person doesn't have to deal with the "piece of your mind", which is to their benefit.
