The next thing the Feds need to make verboten is folks who
fire up and broadcast over CTAF that they're going to taxi
from their parking spot over to the active runway (what possible
purpose could that information / transmission serve?).

It alerts incoming aircraft of a likely departure. For a number of
reasons they may miss the actual departure announcement, and can use
this taxi information to position themselves, or to ask whether they can
land prior, or should wait until after their departure.

I find it useful. It also doens't clog the freq much, since the
tranmission originates on the ground.
