One advantage of using such Chinese Cleaver knife is that I can pick up the food material on the kitchen board to wok or frypan easily rather than holding my large kitchen board and try to sweep them in, which at times ends up on stove top due to the size mismatch of board and pot and make a mess.
what clown would pay more than $3 for a Chinese knife!

They're meant as all around beaters, which includes the usual usage as a pan scraper. This is a cheap stainless steel, so it's definitely soft enough to use and abuse.
If you go into higher end chuka-bocho cleavers that use higher end steels and super steels, which are hardened to 60+ HRC, and tend to have much narrower blade profiles, you'll run into issues with scraping. Though those also tend to have the less common rounded belly, which might be appealing to some, and unappealing to others.
That being said, a scraper is 10 bucks and if you decide to get more into knives, it's annoying to unlearn the habit of scraping your board with knives.
Some people enjoy using cheap knives like Shi Ba Zi, but I'd rather jump to the next price point. CCK has gotten massively inflated in price, but Chopper King is from Taiwan and has pretty good stuff, and in better steels as well. They're on CKTG.
I'm Chinese and I taught myself how to cook on a CCK, and they're fun to use, but I only paid ~$35 back then. For ~$70 I tend to recommend Japanese knives (ex: nakiri) instead. The Chinese cleavers are really fun as beaters, but they are heavy (even though you can use the weight of the cleaver to chop) and I found it fatiguing in longer sessions. They're also a bit more annoying to learn to use for more delicate tasks and the large size makes them harder to store.
CCK was great at its old price point of ~$30-50 but it's double that now and at that price, it falls short in terms of fit and finish vs other options at that price. It doesn't have any frills, fit and finish is meh, the steel is just ok, and the food release is terrible. Not dealbreakers at the original price point, but at the new going price, I find it a lot less forgivable.
I mostly just pull this out for novelty, or leave it at my parent's to use when I visit. My mom likes to take it out to cut napa cabbage (the Chinese ingredient it's most suited for) and other large produce, like watermelons.
Though honestly, even for that, there are cheaper options that have more novelty value; the Chinese cleavers aren't that long so it can get annoying with larger melons. Grab a Tojiro Big Almighty Chopper for around ~$40-50 off eBay if you want a huge novelty knife for those occasions. It's amazing for cutting and serving cake because of the length and the tall height, plus the party fun of bringing it out.
As for knife profiles, if you just want an all around chef's knife with a similarly flat belly for the push cut profile, you can look into nakiri's and santoku's. Santoku is quite versatile, though the gyuto is better if you like to rock chop.

Shibazizuo is an excellent knife manufacturer. They're mass market and cheap, but for the price they will best most supermarket knives you can get in the US
