Tbh I use it for a ton of things. For example cutting up audio, or if I download a thing and want to extract the audio (e.g. a song from YouTube, since newpipe has decided to stop offering plain mp3 downloads). I can write little scripts and just run them, its simple and easy, and makes sense to me. Need to zip up many files in a structured repeated way? I can spend a long time selecting every file by hand, praying I dont misclick and unselect everything, or I can do a simple bash script and it takes 5 seconds. Guis are clunky for me.
Yeah the world of cli is pretty hardcore, I've used ffmpeg for extracting raw aac streams to be containerised for instance. Running that type of stuff on android is legit though.
