A legit reason to hide your edit history is you might not remember what was in there. Say you have a moment of frustration and type out "this is an absolute garbage assignment by a braindead professor". Or you jot a quick note from the doctor because it happens to be open.
The simple fact is that the reader has no business reading the edit history, and the ability to make this happen should probably be far more prominent in document applications like Word or Google Docs.
