Can someone describe a situation where you would use a 'Wait' Step in a Bot?

Can someone describe a situation where you would use a 'Wait' Step in a Bot? I'm struggling to come up with any theoretical situation that would benefit from a Wait Step. Either 'Wait for condition' or 'Wait for a period of time'. Specifically, what benefit does the Wait Step provide that could not be achieved without using it, or without setting up other Bots?

My thoughts so far:

1. Instead of a "wait for condition", why not just build another Bot with that other condition on it?

2. Instead of a "wait for period of time", why not just change the current Bot's Event condition to trigger on some later data change? Or if there is no later data change, then what is the use of the wait?

@WillowMobileSysI saw you just post a BUG post about Wait Steps, so maybe you can respond?
