When would anyone want to use path trimming as with -p1 and so forth?

AFAIK, Bash allows executing something and at the same time have some parts of the path removed, from left to right.
While -p0 argument will treat a path as is (which probably makes -p0 itself probably redundant):
/var/www/html/example.com
-p1 will remove the root slash, so it becomes:
var/www/html/example.com
I came to introduce this "methodology" when reading about patching modules of applications via CLUI, but I miss why would anyone want to remove a root slash from a path in shell scripting?
