Based on these the main selling point seems to be pirated apps and content.

That’s certainly one of them. For me it’s more like having browser extensions in your native apps. Ad blocking, feature enhancements, etc. For example: there is no “Instagram Premium” I can even pay for to remove ads. But with this there is.

As well as some apps that are just off limits for the App Store, like emulators.
