The actual purpose of Strava is to compare your time with that of others. Or at least to show off your activities.

Especially the free version is (nowadays, 10 years ago when I really used it that wasn't a problém) lacking features to be a useful training (tracking/logging) tool on it's own.

That might be true for many, but it is surely not true for everyone. The progression analysis across multiple activities, or the heart rate analysis of each individual activity, are immensely useful tools on their own.

This has been true 10 years ago, nowadays the free version is just about useless for training tracking purposes.

I suspect most folks are getting that data from their watch provider now rather than from Strava.

Why would you do that and get locked into that provider's ecosystem? Everyone I know ignores their watch provider's system as soon as they figure out how to make it sync to Strava.
