I believe the neighbor command is used to send routing annoucements as unicast packets instead of multicast or broadcast cast packets. For instance, there may be 5 routers on a segment but only two of them are using the same routing protocol. Instead of needlessly sending updates to the other routers, you could use a passive-interface to block the broadcasts/multicasts on the interface and instead send a directed unicast. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
