Antony,
Normal business is the use-case :)
Assume an internal-team that does discussions, uses the notebook, organizes itself in planner but also wants to be able to share some results (documents or apps e.g. issue tracking) with an external audience. Of course, I can create another SP site for it, but why? ... it's all there.
My understanding of "full SP site" is different :-)

Hi Markus. I absolutely agree the use case is a normal day to day business one.
You can't teach people "Share with links rather than attachments" and "Office 365 groups are the best way to easy collaboration" and then when using groups take away their easy method of sharing a specific file with an external and I definitely hope this will be resolved by MS.
