Given that you can do this already in the material room by right clicking and choosing "Select All" and then right clicking again and hitting "Apply to all", I don't really see why you'd need a script.

That is general with any script. A script automates a series of GUI actions. A script like the above by itself indeed has little need, unless this is something you have to do 100 times.  The thing is you may need this code as a part of a more encompassing process in a bigger script. It is very annoying to have to stop, tell the user to do something, check if he did it correctly,  and so on. 

We generally share code snippets here 'wrapped' in a script so others can easily see what the snippet does and test it before merging it into the bigger process.  

Also, It is not necessarily the script that someone needs but the understanding of how particular functions can be applied for use within the poser environment. BUT as FVerbaas states you might want to apply a black texture across a number of background figures to create silhouettes, want to do it your (the built -in poser) way? no problem, enjoy. For people with less time and / or patience however; this script will automate the process, thereby speeding it up exponentially and you can modify it to work only on the figures/props that you want to address.
