My typical scenario for this feature is: I'm using my computer all day. As soon as I wake up, I turn it on until I go to sleep, so I never close my session but I'm not always using it and my sister also needs it so If I'm running something I cannot stop and I'm not in my house, my sister cannot use the computer (because I lock the screen to prevent someone breaks my session). With the switch user feature, my sister could just click a button on the screensaver's pass dialog and use the computer without problems. We don't have the screensaver integration thus the other option I have is let anyone use my session and my sister could just select the Switch user from the Action menu and she knows that she will not have troubles with me because she close any important application from my session. There are lots of possible scenarios, but the family one is the best one I can give you because it's what happens in my own house.
