The pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages will go back and forth like helmet vs no helmet, full face vs. 3/4 vs. brain bucket, ATTGATT, no ATTGATT, "performance" mods. louder mufflers, etc.,etc. It's a personal choice, you get educated, try it, if you like it, go for it, if not, get rid of it -- you make the decision.
All my bikes had a windshield I put on or left on. For little rides around town or slow back roads it may not be as advantageous as on a good faster highway ride - definitely warmer, safer, and much less fatigue without being directly in the wind blast. And noise is abated with earplugs - another decision you have to make.
Basically it's protection from not only the wind but from being hit in the face, neck, chest, by anything on the road, and if you don't think you need that, then don't get one.
