It's just a code reuse mechanism. In some cases you can do with it what you might also do with callbacks, or yes, composition. Or in some cases inheritance might be handy.
I don't know why we need to be so judgmental about it.
I think inheritance is especially good if you have an interface (in the OO sense, like some languages use an "interface" keyword for), but you have some common or default methods, which a specific implementation may or may not override, or maybe there is some boiler plate or tedium where the most common implementation might belong in a base class. I think this is handy for something like a device driver.
