My card in the contacts app

Hi, I would like to know what is the point of having ‘my card’ in the contacts app? What can I use it for? What is the point? Is it for some emergency situation? Or just a quick way to send someone your info? Is that the primary reason? Because I don’t seem to completely understand why I would need a contact of myself !? maybe there’s some thing I’m not seeing, I would appreciate some feedback, thank you

Your contact card is used -

During Filling out your address in Safari - AutoFill
Siri and the Maps app uses it to determine your home address
Siri will use it to determine relationships if you have those setup in your contact card
Shipping address is pulled from it when you have made a purchase

There are many other reasons as well. Above are just to name a few.
