The same reason you'd use a blind-carbon-copy on paper correspendence,
To hide addresses if you're not sure every recipient wants everyone else to have their address (or when CC'ing a private mailing list that shouldn't get followups or doesn't want the list address quoted and archived randomly around the net),
When the list of recipients is so long that it takes up more than a screen or is longer than the message, and you don't want everyone to have to scroll through it to get to the text.
(I'm sure someone will suggest additional reasons, but those are the common ones.)
