I've never understood - what does Pocket do over 'save to reading list' in your browser? That's how I save things to read later - and it's free.

Fair question. For me, it was the cross-device sync and offline functionality. Also, save to reading list didn’t exist when I started using Pocket.

Some people also use Pocket as a repository.

I don’t know. I guess I stated using it before that was a common feature, and it was useful to have a cross-platform way to save bookmarks across devices. It’s the easiest cross browser option IMO.
