Reminding you of the name and possibly previous interactions with the person you’re talking to, for instance (if it only did local lookup based on consensual photos you had previously added to your address book). I’m not face-blind or anything, but my memory is bad enough that that would be helpful to me.

I would rather the person shattered a glass fountain pen in my urethra than scanned my face because they forgot my name.
