Can anyone explain to me the use cases and benefits of these types of stands that hold laptops at an angle?

I think it’s so you can set it on a desk, have the screen at eye level while using a connected keyboard and mouse.

When using the laptop as a second monitor and keeping it at the same height as the external monitor

It's to improve posture when using the laptop for longer periods of time.
