What about when you need multiple temporary mount points?
What about when you have an portable backup drive that you connect once a week? And the drive is encrypted? And your backup system wants to know where?

/tmp is volatile nowadays and not temporary. That's particularly
braindead when you want Libreoffice to be able to recover files after
a crash, which, by default, autosaves in /tmp.
