I do remember - now - back when I was making the old fashioned html pages. The information in between the title tags were very important, especially if the site was for an organization. I had to put the org's name, then the page title in so the user and the search engines would find them easily.

The first thing search engines hit will be the title of the journal, and if the journal is for an organization, I can see why it is very important that a user would want fine-tuned control over that. Ditto for authors trying to establish an online presence for themselves or for a specific book. Maybe they won't turn to a Live Journal or a Dreamwidth for such a thing, but it should be made an option for those that do.
