I think it is related to higher contrast. Mostly used to pick individual star for science purposes. I know that is how it feels for me, although planetary it is not as easy, just looks nice, so I think it is just an action done.

I know that a few wide-field shots I have done recently have a negative image to identify bright stars amongst a flood of gas or astro dust.
