How is it better than configuring <randomstring>.mydomain.com to point to my home networks IP address and have my router forward those connections to my desktop ? I have a batch job than sets up a Route53 record using whatsmyip service when I am testing my app on my localhost and another batch job that deletes the dns record when my tesing is complete.

I'm guessing this is useful in situations where the home network is behind NAT and not routable, which is the case for a lot of ISPs.

this can also be useful in commercial dev when you have a random EC2 instance that you want to share with a nice URL.
