> Out of the box, Flipper Zero can emulate remotes for popular garage doors and barriers. You can keep hundreds of remotes in Flipper's memory as well as create a blank remote for the new wireless gate.

I'm struggling to find an honest use for this.

Easy. I'm already envisioning all the ways this device could make my life easier. I would no longer have to juggle RFID keys to multiple clients' premises. I can lock and unlock my 1994 BMW that uses a long obsolete RF keyless entry system that is difficult to obtain replacement keys for. I can adjust my RF controlled lighting system at home without having to dig for the remote. So much of the world runs on RF that having a device that can speak to everything is invaluable.
Having all your tags in one device is great. Also having a backup.
