Figma is for people to share and collaborate between team members. Especially between designers and devs, but devs at my company use it directly as well. You get something picture perfect that others can comment on or tweak. You can update it easily. Try out different colors or images or icons rapidly. You then also have visual documentation that can be sent to business people or partners.

If it’s just you, you don’t strictly need it. Personally though, I find it really useful precise because I’m not a great designer. I can fiddle around with sizes and layouts in figma until I get it the way I want it, then I turn that into code. I could jump straight from scribble to code, but having that middle step where I can exercise the idea without screwing with components or css feels nice.
