This is a multifaceted question, because there isn't one use case, it depends on who you are. If you are somewhat nomadic and always moving systems, having a "home" you can dial back to and pick up where you left off from is a massive boon (with a remote system like this, my phone is now powerful enough to do pretty much any development task as now it's just rendering the front end and not doing real heavy lifting) If you're an enterprise programmer working on locked down networks and devices with more end point protection tools than endpoints, an unencumbered authorized system with access to the right network assets, as well as standardized and project specific tooling is the difference between coding and coding with one arm tied behind your back and a blindfold on. (actually the benefits for enterprise are many and not just DevEx -- think security, network admin, vendor access, governance, AI rollout, reduction in project specific on-boarding documentation....) I'm sure there are many other use cases, though these are just the immediate ones that spring to mind.
