This only allows "read" rights to some or all of a particular user not all.
For certain queries with LDAP protocol this is required specially if the client is not aware of the bind dn,password etc.
It totally depends on the usage of the LDAP client and its requirements.
Also, just a note even if LDAP bind is successful in any ADS,if you do not have permissions to read in other hiererchies other than the bind dn you will face the same issue.
Thank you,

As said: This is a massive change in the operational security of MS AD not appreciated by any AD admins I know. It's far more appropriate to get the LDAP bind right in your LDAP client.
