成功コールバック関数を jQuery Ajax 呼び出しから切り離すのはどのような場合ですか?

function getData() {
    return $.ajax({
        url : 'example.com',
        type: 'GET'
    });
}

function handleData(data /* , textStatus, jqXHR */ ) {
    alert(data);
    //do some stuff
}

getData().done(handleData);

// Timer for demo purposes, resolves itself after 5 seconds
var timer = $.Deferred();
setTimeout(timer.resolve, 5000);

// Get data using AJAX and attach done and error handlers
var ajax = getData().done(handleData).fail(error);

// Wait for both AJAX and timer to finish before continuing
$.when(timer, ajax).done(function() {
    // Both AJAX and 5s timer have finished
});

// Additional callbacks can be added even after AJAX call finishes
ajax.done(function(data) {
    //Do some stuff with data
});
