I would like to know about typical use cases.  How is this better than
just invoking actions directly from another dired buffer?  Does it make
what one might want to do when multiple buffers are involved more
convenient?  How?

Privately I am using registers to save selections of files.  Registers
have the advantage that you can have more than one selection.  I am
using these selections totally differently, though: to restore marks or
to open a file listing in a separate dedicated buffer.
