This size saw is also ideal for door casings, regular sized baseboard, quarter round/shoe mold, etc. which could be really handy for a flooring install.
While small saws like this are more limited in their max cutting capacity, they have many advantages over their bigger, more complicated counterparts, including lower price, cheaper blades, smaller footprint, lighter weight, and better accuracy.

I recommend that people get the smallest and least complicated miter saw available that has the features and cut capacity they need for the things that they are going to cut.

Just skip this one and buy a 10" slider or larger corded miter saw that will work on most projects now and in the future. Or go cordless if you prefer and have deep pockets. But in reality, I actually prefer a corded miter saw.
More recently I used one for a framing project, and I found it was pretty handy for cutting multiple cripple studs and widow headers, etc. to length. It really streamlined the process being able to carry the tool to the workpieces rather than vice versa. Of course it is not very powerful, but for certain applications it can be much quicker, more accurate, and safer than a circular saw.
Both times, after finishing the projects, I sold the saws on Facebook Marketplace at a modest profit.

Sure the 7" blade is a different animal from a 10", but for what it does, it does it well. There's also the 7" slider as well, if you need the extra capability. (Though no deals on the slider right now.)
I agree that this small, highly limited miter saw has a price appeal to newbies.... that will have to search for a project to use while having a cord outlet 10' away. Personally, I would spend the money on a decent and far more versatile corded or battery 7-1/4" circular saw, or towards a 10" sliding miter saw, table saw, radial arm saw, etc. We have two of the original 9" Rockwell miter boxes that have not been used in well over 20 years because of the size that continues to get more obsolete... let alone a 7 1/4" version that is like going backwards.
