Ah, I wondered why I've clicked on a video to then realize I've watched the whole thing already, and didn't intend to again.
Perhaps that is one of the intended purposes - to trick people into thinking its a new video, so more ads are delivered by such mistakes.
Some more analytically inclined creators have been aware of this musical thumbnail game long before YouTube implemented what I described. They would just do it manually before, or perhaps even had custom software to do it for them.
I'm not aware of any option that allows creators to enter multiple titles in the same fashion as the thumbnail mechanism, though it wouldn't surprise me. There have long been videos that dynamically change their titles based on video analytics. Perhaps most famously exemplified by Tom Scott.
