The question is since you don’t own an Apple product or ever intend to, why do you care what it is good for?

No, it’s a fair question.
I bought both the first and most recent versions of the iPad and an iPhone 5 and 6. I take them with me everywhere. I bought two versions of the iPod including the original. I love Apple gadgets and I’m a PC guy.
But I would like know: Just what is this bloody thing supposed to be good for?
That’s like starting with “I have a perfectly serviceable rotary dial landline phone; just what is this bloody ‘smartphone’ thing supposed to be good for?”
It’s for the fact that phones are getting big to the point that they’re notably inconvenient to dig out of pocket, purse or briefcase just to check the latest notification, time, or other trivial glance.
I don't have a clue but if you have not watched the TV Series Tera Nova maybe you could get a clue what it might be used for toward the end of the series.
I doubt you or I are their target user base.
