There's this newfangled concept called social media where you let other people post content that exists on your web site. You're rarely allowed to post HTML because of the associated issues with sanitizing it. setHTML could help with that.

I just had a flashback to the heyday of MySpace. Now that I think about it though, Neocities has the "social networking" of being able to discover other people's pages and give each other likes and comments.

Hmmm...

Or CMS content, or even anything that comes from the user outside of social media content and could cause a reflected XSS

for example, a search query, or a redirect url, or a million other things
