It's usually just needless fan-wank awkwardly inserted to thrust someone's self-insert far above everybody else. Worse yet it doesn't usually stop there - there's often other major liberties taken with such characters to the point where they're effectively just a walking parody.
You can also play a character who is interesting and compelling, is not the hero, but has the Echo, as an adventurer.
