I quite like them for token gates chat rooms, i'm in a few discords that use nft ownership as keys, keeps out the spam, and I can always sell my access by selling the token, and if I do the creator gets 10%(standard but varies) of the sale.
I can use them for voting in https://snapshot.org/#/ https://snapshot.org/#/
I can rent them out on places like https://dapp.renft.io/ https://dapp.renft.io/
for example if you have a stonercat nft (mila kunis and ashton kutchers new animation series) you have a key to watch episodes, but you could always rent that key out to others to watch episodes.
I could (and do) buy music and art that isn't nft'd, but i like that it gets stored in my wallet. I can open rainbow and it has all the links to everything ive bought.
I like that i can deploy a contract and then add some js to my website to connect it to eth, and then people can come to my website and mint/buy my art. I dont need to set up stripe or shopify and get it connected to my bank account. I can have a shopfront up in like 30 mins, even less if i use zora/opensea. I dont need to store databases with peoples emails and passwords, they just use their wallet to log in.
I can easily gift them to friends, I can pull the meta data into whatever website/app/display i like.
I can make rules in my contract that it can only be transferred once a year, or that it gets split into two on each transfer, or that you have to feed it and play with it like a tamagotchi. I can play with the responsibility of ownership, make it much more involved and participatory. Maybe all the owners of my nfts have to work together to activate it.
You could probably still do some of that without cryptocurrencies, but programmable tokens and a big shared database/computer make it much easier.
