I think the widest spread use case of a property is:

you start with a variable as memeber of a class, you write a lot
of assignment code, then you decide that you need to do some more
extensive processing instead of simple assignment, and all that
without breaking existing code.

so, you transform the variable into a property.

of course, it could happen the other way around (converting a
function into a property/variable).
