the title says it mostly. back when i was on twitter, i could make my account posts visible only to followers. people could follow me if only i approved them. its useful if you want to interact only with family or irl acquaintances on the platform.

Private accounts are not technically possible at the moment because the protocol Bluesky is built on requires all interactions between users to be public (including blocks).

The developers have discussed it before, but it would not happen for a while.
