Still wondering what the use case is...I just can't see what advantage the pi would have over using FreeCAD on any typical desktop or any laptop...

I guess education? Especially given the pi is very cheap and can be used for all sorts of other things?

I think that would be it, yes. There's a lot of people for whom giving them a ~$50-100 "computer" that blows away anything I had in 2010 is still a good thing. The more real tools and programs you can get running on that, the better off they are.
