Since you seem to work for Microsoft, the broken use case I know: without 3p cookies Microsoft Teams is broken (it shows a not very useful error page asking to refresh the page, when you do it shows the same error again). Many of us need it for remote work so I guess this one of the things Google had in mind when they delayed disabling 3p cookies by default.

Yes, Teams relies on silent auth from within an iframe (all those chat windows etc). This is impossible without 3p cookies, so we're working with Google to find a solution. Storage access API in Safari works, but sounds like it won't make it to Chrome.
