This has also come up when implementing interfaces like `SerialPort`, `HIDDevice` and `BluetoothRemoteGattCharacteristic`. Basically any time there is an `EventTarget` which is not a DOM element and so isn't referenced by the document but can still fire events at some later time even if all references from script have been dropped.
