Very angered and/or intoxicated individuals, who are told their fare is invalid or something else they disagree with, and feel the need to physically present their displeasure. And sometimes they are tracked down and charged with assault; but not every case can be prosecuted, and at any rate the driver gets traumatized by the act in the first place. Giving drivers the option to separate themselves from the possibility of the act is quite empowering and is a big boost to morale.
Not to mention that some of these individuals may have a fluid-borne illness that may cause lasting health effects on the driver.
