The purpose of the LSD is to make both rear wheels have similar traction.
Take a look at this video. You can skip to 1:35. It can be seen as a safety part depending on your driving style. In a standard car, if you drive over a pool with the right wheel, that wheel will spin and you won't have any traction in any wheels.
With an LSD, the system will "know" you are driivng over a low traction surface and will limit the power to that wheel. it will also send some of the power to the opposite wheel so both wheels have traction.
At least that's my understanding of what it does.
