I believe the general theory is relative line numbering helps you when in normal mode. If you want to manipulate a chunk of lines, sometimes you revert to counting them then doing something like yy. With relative line numbering the counting is effectively done for you.
But to me, I try to avoid counting arbitrary lines and instead try and do something like y/ or ya{ or whatever.
