It's all about spatial locality. When I'm editing some code in Vim,
I like to launch some new terminals (or file managers) in the same
working directory as the file I'm editing to do additional things.
Without this feature, I have to *manually* navigate to that working
directory in the helper application (terminal or file manager) that
I launched. This becomes tiresome and inefficient as time goes on.

Yes, and that's good enough for me. However, in the case that the
remote client's title contains a path that also exists on the local
machine (perhaps network mounted on both local & remote machines)
then your newly launched program will start in your local directory.
