Some use cases:

Block Exploration: Blockchain explorers use eth_getBlockByHash to provide detailed information about specific blocks when users search by block hash.
Transaction Verification: If a user knows the hash of a block that their transaction was included in, they can use eth_getBlockByHash to retrieve the block and verify the inclusion of their transaction.
Network Monitoring: Services that monitor the Polygon network for various purposes (like security, auditing, or analytics) use eth_getBlockByHash to retrieve specific blocks of interest.
Historical Analysis: Researchers and data analysts can use eth_getBlockByHash to retrieve specific blocks for historical analysis of the Polygon or other networks.
