In this case, I wanted to quickly send a screen shot of my work-in-progress to someone. As I mentioned, I could take a regular screen shot (and did), but having to crop the image is definitely a point of friction.
I could also imagine using screen shots to try out different layouts, taking a screenshot of each to show to others to compare.
I would imagine pretty much everything people use Simulator screenshots for would also be a use case for Xcode Preview screenshots, with the added advantage that Xcode Preview screenshots could be easily created subsets of the UI, not just the entire app.
