Can someone tell me the best use case for a sander like this? I need to give myself a reason to buy it.

Rust removal. Ideal for tight spaces in iron banisters or patio furniture.

Why not use a rotary or die grinder in that scenario? Just curious.

I don't have this particular tool but since the belt has a little flex it probably works better around curves and spirals. Also a little safer than a grinder and quicker than a small rotary tool. Is does seem a little application specific while the other tools you mentioned have broader uses.
