Why was this created? Malicious. Maybe it beats hitting the device with a hammer though.

“Because I can” is probably the major reason. Though if nothing else, it is going to force the industry to follow Apple and isolate the USB ports. They’ve kept increasing the power on USB ports but there’s no protection on them. It’s not unheard of for misbehaving USB devices to kill ports or vice versa. It’s a bad spec in that regard. Something had to be done but nobody but Apple has been doing anything about it because it ‘wasn’t a real problem.’

Hillary's hammer will do the same with far less cost.
