Notebooks are chiefly used for scientific exploration and experiments. The “literate programming” environment provides convenient artifacts for distilling research or analytics.

Nowadays they can even be used for running models/analytics in prod with tools like Sagemaker (though I’m not advocating that they should).

Maybe you’re mistaking Jupyter for a different tool like quarto or nbconvert but your dismissive comment misses the mark by miles.
