Comment (by codearachnid):

 The benefit is the ability to reuse the same class logic to instantiate
 multiple widgets (not talking about the current multiple use instances). A
 sample use case is in the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-
 builder/ plugin where the same widget builder class is called multiple
 times with different widget parameters and by extending the widget factory
 was able to accomplish what I am proposing to patch in core.
