 > Could you provide a use case that would be easier to achieve with this
 new filter than with the existing WP_Query filters, e.g. `pre_get_posts`,
 `posts_results`, `the_posts`, and others?

 sorry for late reply.
 yes, the use case is not about building query ourselves, but the intention
 of this PR is to be able to hook into themes/plugins which we don't
 control, so many of them directly use `get_posts` method in their
 implementations and we hadn't have any other way to hook into them.
