To me it allows me to interface with my phone as if it was an actual computer and not just a locked down entertainment autoscroller.
I take notes, do programming, remote into computers, investigate networks, download and play back music/podcasts/web radio, surf the web with w3m, run background services, pretty much anything I'd use a terminal emulator for on a laptop computer.
Eventually I expect more people to move off Discord and the like so I can easily have them in terminal chat software instead.
