What in the world needs inetpub, except websites? APIs? Stuff like that.

Microsoft told me you’re not supposed to remove the folder even if Windows 11 allows you to. That’s because it’s linked to a security patch for a bug titled “CVE-2025-21204“, which is a flaw that allows attackers to modify the system files or folders.

Really not much unless you are making a server. There are a couple desktop client apps that also set up a server for hosting a page in their network, like Zeronet and Gemini. But other than that I can’t think of why it would be needed. They took it out, but now put it back? I agree... Something is up their sleeve.
