Thanks OP!
It seems pointless and a waste of money for a smart bulb to go in a space like that.
I don't mean to be rude. This is a serious question because I just don't understand the logic at all lol
Connect them to a hub with additional inputs, and the sky is the limit for automations/routines.

Right?
Hue lights work remarkably well with motion sensors, routines, schedules, etc. There are a plethora of reasons to use them when your home is in the Hue ecosystem. Some people even just get all lights to be on one platform.
I have the philips hue bridge and some lights myself, but I don't use them in rooms with a simple light switch. That's just why I wanted to see how others are using it...

I used to have a door sensor on my old laundry room. If the door was open, light went on. I found it convenient as I would constantly run in and out of that room when doing chores. There was no windows in that room and it wasn't well insulated so keeping the door closed was a conflict of interest.

Our laundry room is the most used room in the house as it doubles as our mud room and entry from the garage. What I like most is not having to fumble for a switch when coming in from the garage with full hands. We also like the ability to adjust the lighting, create routines and the wake up feature (our puppy crate is in there too). Also, since all of our lighting is smart lighting it would be odd/not intuitive to not include the laundry room.
Bottom line, not every laundry room is the same just as not everyone has the same preferences or budget. It is perfectly acceptable to use a manual switch or traditional motion sensor but the flexibility of smart lighting, ease of use and continuity of lighting throughout the house are reasons we have these in our laundry room.
That's what I was thinking too but since these are only white, may not be perfect for kitchen where you want to have a bit soft hue. I would guess these are more for study room etc.
But with Hue and in other cases you can run into issues/limits otherwise. In this case, Hue has a limit of ~50 devices and ~12 accessories on one bridge (these lights work both BT and Zigbee). You can push that a little depending on the system but above a point things start to get flaky. Having to add and run with a second bridge is clunky since they operate and are controlled independently and don't talk to one another. There also are some limits within that for specific types of devices that you'll see sometimes (e.g., motion sensors). And there's a limited amount of memory overall in the bridge. If you have a lot of scenes, automations, etc., on top of that you can start to see performance/corruption issues. If used via BT, I think the device limit is 10. There are ways around that if using some other home automation system to integrate things but more cost and more complicated.
Nothing wrong with using a smart device anywhere if that works better in that case. But if I can get away with a 'dumb' device for whatever purpose, generally that's how I'll try to go.

The simplest solution that addresses your needs is usually the best.
