There is no real use case for better non-CS generators, as explained by adrian_b back in 2021 [3].

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, exactly, but a use case for better non-CS generators has always been stochastic simulation, especially simulation/sampling approaches that are bound by the number and quality of uniform variates per second.
As someone who has spent considerable time working in these areas, I still appreciate advances.
