Do you find it difficult to find the system views in the long lists of views available for certain tables? Yes, you were able to set a default of course, but now you do have the option to hide system views when enabling this feature.
When looking at the Opportunity table in the standard Sales Hub App, and of course we are now logged in as an Administrator so we would see all of them, but as you can see there are a lot (24 😅). Imagine adding custom views that would make the list even a lot longer.
Even if you build model-driven apps you can configure the experience as an administrator by deciding what you want to add to the app, for example, menu items, forms, and views. Since most likely this is a model-driven app that will be used on a bigger scale, the experience will be the same for the colleagues who have access to the app. Also then, having the ability to hide system views can be a great feature to enable in order to improve the customer experience.
