Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 This came out of discussion on #56277, a proposal to market the mobile
 apps on the WordPress dashboard.

 To be clear, I don't think this is needed for all the widgets but rather
 for marketing and other  widgets widgets that aren't needed on an ongoing
 basis.

 A little friction to prevent people hiding the site health, at a glance
 widgets and other core widgets is a good thing. It limits hiding them to
 people who are more likely to know what they are doing.

 The Welcome banner widget includes a dismiss button in addition the screen
 options setting as it isn't needed on an ongoing basis.
