It is very simple. That you have the ABILITY to use more shallow DOF gives you more creative potential than when that ability is non-existant. Why? Because when you don't have that ability, that option is not there. Same as with FOV. If you only can shoot with a 45 degree FOV, you have less creative potential than when you have for instance 125 to 10 degree to work with.
That does not mean that you have to shoot with shallow DOF all the time. Just means you have the potential to do so.
