1 - People who don't have unlimited data plans (there are a few)
2 - areas that have absolutely no cell service (some mountain pass areas)
3 - Traveling to another country without a SIM or being charged a crap-ton of data roaming
4 - not wanting to be on Google's records of when/where you are
5 - having a second screen dedicated to navigation
There are probably more, but these are the ones I just pulled out of the air
Yes, the phone can also serve for navigation, but you would need accessories to make it waterproof. Plus the vibration from the bike would probably damage the phone after a bit.

• this is an old GPS at this point.
• it was offered for this price almost exactly 3 years ago.
If you need an inexpensive GPS for your bike right now (or, perhaps more importantly you own the $200 Touratech locking mount for this and your existing 396lmt-s has died) then this is probably a good option. Or the 4.3 size works well with your bike.
Otherwise I agree that waiting on another $350-$400 deal for the Zumo XT is probably a good way to go. (Or a deal on the xt2 if you've got the cash and space to mount it.)
But I just changed to a RAM mounted widescreen motorcycle Android unit similar to an auto stereo. Waterproof, connects to phone for Android Auto or CarPlay (even though it's android based, still supports Apple), dual bluetooth for connecting phone and helmet/headphones simultaneously and thus also voice commands, has dual camera inputs, SD slot for standard dashcam functionality of loop recording & such, can integrate with TPMS sensors, and I can set up offline maps locally instead of via phone if I want. Only downside is it's not touchscreen; uses A/B selector buttons mounted near the grip.
One important thing with the 680 is the mount is very strong. XT mount is a bit lighter duty.
Currently use a 680t on my Husq701/ktm 690.
I agree with others to not mount your primary phone on the bike. In case of an emergency you'll want to have your phone on you. Had situations where I could see finding someone might be a challenge even if they ride in group.

Another one, but that maybe personal. Cars that don't have Apple / Android CarPlay and people don't want to get expensive third party units installed they can buy 7" - 8" gps units for pretty cheap and use them as gps. It leaves phone for music and calling and not overheat.
Offline phones don't provide traffic. GPS units often have traffic included.
it preload the maps to system, it has no diffidence for smartphone to load offline maps....

Yes, agreed stand-alone gps units can have real time traffic. Some have it and some don't. On a Garmin unit you can typically tell if it has traffic by the letter "T" in the model. NOTE: This one, the LMT-S probably only gets traffic when connected to a smartphone….that's what the -S means.
Stand alone GPS units don't connect to the internet to work ….they use satellites to work. This helps in rural areas without cell signal.
If a smartphone is not using data and is using previously downloaded offline maps, then the smartphone would not have real time traffic.
In order for a smartphone to have real time traffic it needs to have the data on ( can't be offline).
That's a benefit for GPS for those phone users who don't have unlimited data.
..... I hear crickets......
Link to the unit? CarPlay would be epic if it was a slim and bright situation with some kind of way to use it w gloves on.
Thanks!
Also I've read a long time ago that these will eventually fail from all the vibrations. The screen literally falls apart I think. They fix that too? I have memory problems so I can rarely go out far because direction is too abstract for me. This would be so nice..
