I don't see any use now, but "actual" LE peripherals allow to use directed advertising when for instance, they need to send an ATT notification just to a specific device, and not let anyone else connect to them. Do you see an easy way of selecting an specific device to advertise to? The issue here is that once LE Peripheral is enabled, any device can connect to you (e.g. other previously bonded devices will for sure attempt to reconnect). If you want to be connected by a specific device, you need to use directed advertising from the beginning. Also is LE advertising re-enabled when a connection is established (remember it is disabled automatically by the controller after connection is established)? And after an HCI Reset ?
