Where I work (https://phantombuster.com) we use them for scraping the web.

They're a hassle-free way of getting the data. No need to worry about CORS, sessions, cookies, CSRF and other modern web stuff. Just simulate a human and you’re in.

Yeah, I used to work for a company doing similar things. Was more expensive that way, but there were tons of sites you could only get the data being in a proper browser.
