No idea, but it's there if you want it! Speculating wildly, it might be useful for JMAP?

It's more likely to disappear entirely (see https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/2100) in favour of Prometheus (which is more powerful, more flexible, more human-readable, and is actually used by Fastmail -- and therefore more tested). But it won't disappear from a stable branch, so it won't be a surprise when it does.
