I don't understand how this helps ownership of content? What situation is this trying to avoid? You already "own" your URL if you own your domain?

EDIT: understand you are not the OP btw, just wondering out loud.

The only thing I can think of is if they want to share controversial posts while having the ability to deny that they wrote it (as long as they don’t actually create a link to it from their own site).

It’s not a good use case IMO, but that is all I can think of lol
