Why is mid point RVR given?
It is (or was - I'm not sure) relevant because it is limiting:

The touch-down zone RVR is always controlling. If reported and relevant, the mid point and stop end RVR are also
controlling. The minimum RVR value for the mid-point is 125 m or the RVR required for the touch-down zone if less,
and 75 m for the stop-end. For aeroplanes equipped with a roll-out guidance or control system, the minimum RVR
value for the mid-point is 75 m.
Note: “Relevant”, in this context, means that part of the runway used during the high speed phase of the landing down to a speed of
approximately 60 knots.

The significance, I suspect, is because it's useful to be able to see where you are going when moving at high speed along the mid section of the runway and in manual control of steering.
