I'd call that much more that a perk. It makes it very hard for anyone to find you by looks--critical for certain types. For example, Michael Collins had almost no pictures of him to guide the British searching for him in the movie "Michael Collins," and that let him work with impunity. The same would be the case in many situations..but much harder to arrange in a modern society of picture ID's. (Although if no copy is kept--or it's lost--that's almost as good--the only pic of you is the one in your wallet...)
