I cannot imagine a use case where I would want to do a style change mid ligature. Can someone smarter than I am give a reasonable example of doing so?

The user may not think of the letters as connected. Suppose the user wanted to write "stuffing" and bold the letters "ing". The user may well not realize that the font thinks of "ffi" as anything other than three separate letters.
