Might be useful when an image url is embedded in another page (like notion for instance), that it become a two-step workflow, so you have to go back to your Plus dashboard and allowlist that specific page that is the requestor.

That way, if someone takes the url of the image and shares it, it doesn't work without the owner allowing it again.

Of course, this isn't meant as a security measure as it would be trivially simple to circumvent, but more of a way of keeping track of the general surface area of how widely shared and image and putting the power in the users hands to reign it in.
