Essentially the purpose of -W is to prevent truncation, usually of filenames or function names. Tools that use the output from readelf must decide if they want full or truncated names and invoke the tool appropriately.
I have to say that I find the truncation extremely annoying, and I would never ever under any circumstances want file names or function names or symbol names or section names to be truncated. I always use --wide with readelf.
