What does the modesty panel on a straight desk actually do?

A modesty panel is a vertical board that runs along the front base of the desk between the legs, blocking the view of the user’s legs and any cables or storage underneath. It’s standard on panel-end desks and gives the piece a more finished, professional look. Some modesty panels also provide a surface to attach cable management hardware on the back side.
