I think you're supposed to have a project in mind before you buy.

Weather station? Stuff do with a motion sensor? VPN server or PiHole?

I play a train game with door and other controls, so when I get the time to, I plan on getting a Pi Pico, some switches and potentiometers to make physical controls which otherwise would've been keyboard shortcuts. I'm pretty sure the Zero can do it too. It's my niche but maybe that reminds you of something you can build.

How does this help when they already have bought one?

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

Pretend you didn't have one and think of a project.

Just built a smart mirror with a Pi 3 Model A+ not sure how specs differ on the Pi zero. But it was a fun project and useful for the family.

You could set it up with RetroPie https://retropie.org.uk/ and play retro games.  I created on with the Pi Zero 2 W and it can play NES and SNES games well and can even do some PlayStation 1 games.
