Just finished assembling this nice Tukkari TLX enclosure for my Prusa MK4 kit... which still hasn't shipped yet lol. It's really well designed and went together pretty easily, though assembly took a while. Should keep the cat hair off my MK4... someday...

Can you elaborate why one would put the printer into an enclosure?

More consistent heating so you can print stuff like ABS (with an outdoor exhaust system for the fumes) and also to keep cat hair off your printer which is something I also encounter.

Reduces cat hair and dust, less noise, hepa+carbon filter for fine particulates and some fumes, consistent temperature/humidity for some filament types.

That's a very nice enclosure

The one I have for my printers is made of wood and has an exhaust far that has about 100cfm of suction
