Well it could be anything. For instance I would like to focus with purpose on the foreground in the left lower quadrant. To achieve this, I select an object here, it could be a tree for example, aim at this object with the AF field, activate tracking and then recompose to achieve the the image composition I want. Tracking keeps the focus exactly where I want it in the picture.

And that works, even with recent Canon M cameras, and certainly with recent R cameras -- as several people have now stated.
