I think the original reason for its introduction was for users who like highlights applied directly to text selections. Using very-long-press, they can then still access the pop-up menu when needed (very-long-press at the end of the selection).

Personally, I use it to access the highlight pop-up menu on single word selections, which would otherwise launch a dictionary look-up on regular long-press.
