If I ran a motel in the middle of nowhere, and I was using wireless security cameras, it might make sense to have a separate, secured network in addition to the open network guests use. In this situation, hiding the network would make sense for purely aesthetic reasons - guests connecting to the internet would only have one SSID to choose from. As the article points out, any other uses of SSID hiding are either useless, or create additional problems.
