Seriously? It doesn't seem like you even
knew what it was for.
You asked, "What is the use case for using
annotations but not showing them?"
I had to point out that (1) "using" is a
misnomer for _setting_ (creating, editing),
and (2) "using" an annotation _does_ also
show it.
The actions take place at different times.
The annotation is shown in both cases. So
your question made no sense: there is no
"using" an annotation without showing it.
You can't go by the words "use" and "show"
in the two variable names.
I imagine a real question behind what you
asked might be, "What is the use case for
the "*-use-*" variable?". I answered that.
