You don't mention that Optical bonding helps make the screen much more bright if it's used outside in the sunlight. Sunlight gets between the glass and the LCD when a display is not bonded, and that glare makes displays hard to view in outside lighting. It also improves the contrast ratio between the Blacks (the blacks are blacker in optical bonded panels).

Bad information

There is a lot of inaccurate and incomplete information here, as well as some serious grammatical/clarity issues. Optical bonding is a technology which uses either liquid adhesive or films which are optically clear. They can bond to glass windows, or touch panels, or plastic windows or EMI shielding films or so on. The goal of the technology is to improve readability and ruggedness, mostly by reducing the reflection of external light towards the reader.

About silicone "rework" - rework isn't about repairing damage to a finished product, it's a production step before the part is finished. If the unfinished part has defects (air bubbles, contaminents, etc), the adhesive can be removed and the part can be reprocessed (or "reworked"). All of the liquid adhesive chemistries fundamentally could be reworked (just don't cure the adhesive!), but often two-part mixtures are cured before they reach inspection.

The most common optical bond is done with film with adhesive on both sides, while the better performing bonds are done with just liquid adhesive that cures (either as a two-part adhesive, UV cure, visible light cure, heat cure, moisture cure or a combination).
