Film grain hides fine detail, lowers resolution, and is the opposite to
smooth tonal changes.
If you want any of these three, I think you want to eliminate visible
grain. Whether the subject is fine foliage in a landscape where you want
fine detail, the texture of rust and other worn surfaces in an industrial
image where you want high resolution, or the surface of human skin or a
skyscape where you want smooth tones, grain will get in the way.
I agree there are some images in which these kinds of things aren't
important. I also think those images are in the minority.

In my view 99% (OK maybe 98%) of the time, film grain gets in the way of
the image.
How does it get in the way?
