So what's the point of the dump system?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion--and I've certainly never qualified on a heavy twin jet--but I'm wondering then,
what's the point of installing a fuel dump system on a twin engine jet if not to dump down to landing weight?
For reducing landing weight for less critical situations.
Delaying landing after an engine failure is not what the fuel dump system is for.
