Sometimes a key gets bound in all regular modifiers so you really need another one.

For example I use Super+F for fullscreen because Ctrl+F, Alt+F and Ctrl+Alt+F are all taken in this or that program.

Oh and btw the right-hand Alt is usually AltGr not regular Alt for non-English countries, it's used for composing diacritics.

non-English countries

Pedantic point but of the major English QWERTY layouts, US has two Alts, UK has AltGr on the right

It doesn't matter what it says on the key, it gets mapped to AltGr so it can't be used as Alt.
