I understand the functionality, but what are actual use cases for a calendar CLI?

Scripting, e.g an Alexa skill/IFTT thing/MacOS automation thing.

Or just for one-offs for people who live in the terminal. Not sure I could be bothered to 'insert' from the terminal but 'gcal list tomorrow' seems pretty handy.

I guess in general using the web interface is easier, but there are some use cases.

For instance, in our project we inserted an event after each release, until now we did it manually. Using this it can be automated, being included inside our release flow in our Jenkins server.
