Im curious why one would use this vs something like pandoc?

Probably because it's rust. Realistically, you would only need it when you have already written a part of your software in rust.
To add to that, an additional benefit would be you can compile and release it as Python package (Py03/maturin) or compile to WASM so it runs in the browser (with javascript bindings). This makes the code portable while benefiting from Rust's performance/memory safety.
The majority of use cases are surely as a separate binary and not integrated into your code?
