As opposed to having to type a regexp with each of the chars you want to consider equivalent. Especially if you don't have a keyboard that makes entering such chars trivial (vs using `insert-char' and providing = Unicode names or char codes, etc.). Some users who are not in the habit of entering such chars will = nevertheless have a use case for searching text that contains them. Copying text off = the Web is one way that people end up with such text.
