Comment (by chrisvanpatten):

 Just to offer potential use-cases, I'm working on a project that needs the
 ability to make "longreads" posts look different (sort of in the "art-
 directed" style of The Verge/Polygon/et al), and we're creating a few
 different templates so the editors can choose different styles for each of
 those articles. Post/Page Templates are perfect for that.

 I also have another client looking to have certain posts show author boxes
 and avatars, among other small changes (these are posts from "guest
 contributors" vs. posts from regular writers). There are plenty of ways to
 handle that, but Post Templates seem like a natural fit that's easy for
 the client to use.

 I'm using the Post Template plugin that @johnbillion linked to above, but
 having it in core would be even better :)
