The Gaussian Blur removes a significant amount of noise. For the algorithms that use it such as ORB, Optical Flow Pyr LK and others, that noise can cause significant accuracy problems. It is not something to use wherever and whenever you need a smaller image, that is not it's purpose. But for many multi-scale algorithms, a resize is not enough.
