For me it's because I've been walking 10-20k steps per day on a walking pad at my standing desk while working.

I can still type while doing it but it's so nice to just hold a button (or double tap to lock recording) and just brain dump what I need.

I type very fast but I feel like the unaltered speech to text allows me to express more quickly any uncertainty or doubt that I have or when I don't know exactly how to best ask for what I want.

I also like to play dumb with agents and ask it for the best option for something that I already know the answer to, just to see if it's gonna be correct, it helps get a sense of the limits of each model. That's also quicker on voice.

I don't think it makes use of intonation for the built in one, I use Hex on mac for speech to text
