I fully appreciate the applications you listed as rendering the pi insufficient.
I can however see potential use cases in industrial film and television lighting where controllers were often 100% proprietary and vastly more expensive and you’d generally have a large array of them on large productions.
This isn’t a life or death scenario and these are cheap enough to have a spare or two on hand that could likely be compiled and written inside of an hour or two and connected within minutes.
And as another user mentioned, brings the units up to electrical safety standards in such environments.
It wasn’t my field so I don’t know for sure, but it seems like it could be useful.
