The symlink was just an easy test case.  Doing cd proc && cat ./self/maps
will achieve the same thing.

One instance where this matters is for testing IoT device firmware
exploits, where one might do a GET request against
../../../../../../proc/self/maps in order to bypass ASLR.  Currently, this
will return the memory layout of QEMU, not the emulated memory layout of
the software under test.
