Not that it should be a surprise, but I wanted to note it just in case.
I'm a fan of the kasa line and have several cameras and a handful of the individual smart plugs (energy monitoring ones) but I can't figure out what I'd use a strip with 6 smart plugs in it. I do like that it has energy monitoring for each port so I suppose if you had some sort of setup with 6 things you wanted to closely monitor that could be something.
Also wanted to add - this isn't really a deal, it's (almost) always "on sale", usually at a couple dollars less. Tplink/kasa follows the Kohls pricing model.

I like to see what kind of power my monitor, computer, etc draw. It's more of a curiosity piece than anything for me.
The use cases for a surge protector with this many smart outlets are fairly limited. However, since many smart plugs block the adjacent outlets on regular surge protectors, this is a great solution for areas where you have a high density of devices you want to automate.
So, this is one example of how something like this can be useful. It's basically a smart plug in a strip. As for why people are complaining about controlling the USB ports though is beyond me. Why would you want too and what devices out there do that?

I use the addressable 6 port version for my 3d-printer stand. The strip itself is plugged into a UPS, then each port controls a different aspect of the printer (octopi, the printer itself, lighting, etc). This lets me turn off the printer when finished, while keeping the pi online.
The 3-port version I use to control a few nucs at my desk that I dont need on all the time. I have them configured to power on when power is restored, so I can start them up without having to get to their power buttons.
I also have an older (non kasa) smart power switch I use in my networking rack, but mainly the point of these addressable outlets is to cut down on the number of bulky-ish bricks and let you control individual outlets from a single source of power.
