Tor is a privacy tool. Much of what we do in our lives is on the internet, and privacy is important. Tor helps people enjoy privacy in a medium that they are increasingly dependant on.
Tor also helps you to increase your average loading time of a webpage to 10x. That's a very good deterrent against using it if you don't need it for some reason
