It's mostly a debugging tool for the addon communication channel, hence why it's in the Developer Tools category. I've noticed some addons starting to use the full binary range allowed and a simple print() isn't good enough to display non-print characters. I've always seen a hex grid used to show memory dumps and other situations where full binary information was displayed. I did think about bringing back a "simple" display to use as the primary tab since the hex viewer can be intimidating. I just never got around to it.
