Why placeholder text exists
Lorem ipsum has been the printing industry's dummy text since the 1500s, when a typesetter scrambled a passage from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum to make a type specimen book. The scrambling is the point: the text is recognisably language-shaped but carries no meaning, so nobody reads it instead of evaluating the layout.
That is the argument for Latin filler generally. When you put real copy into an unfinished design, reviewers read the copy and comment on the wording rather than the typography, hierarchy and spacing you actually wanted feedback on. Meaningless text keeps attention on the visual system.
There is a counter-argument worth knowing. Real content has properties that Lorem ipsum lacks, actual heading lengths, awkward product names, and the wildly varying string lengths that break layouts in production. Many designers now prototype with realistic sample content for exactly that reason. Use Latin filler for early-stage layout exploration, and switch to representative real copy before you sign off on anything.
