I would imagine it's for shared spaces, including cafes, where you want to be dealing out individual teabags but don't want other people touching the one you'll be using.
Should keep it fresher since you should keep tea in air tight containers and it is more hygienic so good for workplaces. For home use I stick to loose leave teas.

It's missing the bag breaking a little earlier and falling into the cup so you have to fish it out with the spoon. Bonus points if the spoon is too short
Whoever had the bright idea to turn teabags into flails should rot in an oubliette.
