For me, because I'm interested in making electronics but never learned it well (beyond plugging LEDs and servos to Arduino, or soldering together some kits and an ignition system for a model rocket engine). I don't have as much time as I had before to learn everything the slow way of etching my own PCBs and tinkering with the soldering iron - so I'm interested in anything that lets me test out and iterate on circuit designs without having to actually build them out of physical components.
