One key aspect that is missed here, is mobile users.

iOS don't have a CLI, Android phones... kinda have a CLI, but it's not really usable by all apps / universal like it is on desktop.

I've been putting together a MCP client for mobile recently [1] since to me it seems apparent that Remote MCP is a great utility but none of the major players offer it without a paid subscription.

As other commenters have mentioned, the use case here is really not for software developers, it's for everyone else. It's bringing that agentic loop to do all those "personal assistant" type things in a connected way with all of your services. We're not there yet, but maybe some day.
