What is the purpose of the tinyconfig configuration? What functionality does such a kernel provide? It seems to not even provide basic tooling or "interfaces" to the world. Is this something used for embedded systems where a minimal platform is needed to run a specific firmware?

No. They don't have any other hardware to work on. It's out of necessity, not choice. That reddit thread is in fact talking about a Gofundme and sending them an used laptop but they refused because they expect a lot of trouble actually getting it.
