I suppose the usecase for OC is to denote it's the author's own character, not one they borrowed from an existing piece of media. If the person is mostly in a fandom sort of environment not marking their characters as OC may often lead to them getting asked "Where is that character from?" often

I guess that in those environments just saying "my character" doesn't clarify things. That's annoying.
