Is there any reason for an uncensored model if you have no interest in roleplaying?

My rag I've been building is much in response to having a LLM that I feel more confident in knowing where the knowledge base is coming from especially after the Open AI deal with the Pentagon. So, when I saw "uncensored" heretic models, I thought that was the main usage of those models and thought I would need them.

But in doing various tests, it seems there's random problems that come up with them that don't come up in regular versions. And then even when I do run into something like qwen3.6 acting like it's giving me a more state approved answer for a no-no topic, I've found that if I just put a prompt ahead of it to not give me any propaganda, it basically "jailbreaks" the answer. But, if the model isn't trained on the info anyways, then there's not really a benefit to it.

Are uncensored models just for people wanting...the special roleplaying? Before I write them off. Genuinely curious, not judging how people use them.
