As far as I know the only reason it's there and hasn't been removed is
because it's used to implement debugger watchpoints [1]. And the only
reason it's web-exposed is because SpiderMonkey has not prioritized
being able to expose APIs to privileged code but not the web (something
that think should get fixed).
