I have a 12" nonstick, a 12" cast iron, a 12" carbon steel, a 12" stainless-clad, AND a 14" carbon steel wok (do I have a problem?). I agree that the carbon steel pan and wok can be used to cook the same things, but the difference in quantity capacity is massive. For some things like fried noodles, the carbon steel skillet is perfectly fine. For fried rice or other multi-step stir-fries where perhaps you push ingredients aside and add the egg or other ingredients in stages, the wok makes a huge difference. And while it's flat bottom, the flat part is only half the surface area of the skillet, which enables you to have hotter (bottom) and cooler (sides) zones of cooking.
Is this Uncle Roger approved?
Completely disagree with this, "basically a pan with higher ridges" couldn't be more wrong. As excellent wok cookbook author J. Kenji Lopez-Alt says, "it's the most versatile pan in your kitchen."

You can deep fry in it. You can pop popcorn in it. You can braise in it. You can blanch broccoli/cauliflower/whatever, dump out the water, oil it, and stir fry directly afterwards in the same pan for perfect crispy stir fried veggies. And good luck trying to make evenly cooked fried rice without making a complete mess, while it's a breeze and a joy to toss in a wok.

If anything cooking only for one makes it an even better addition to your arsenal, you're not supposed to crowd a wok so being able to do small portions is an advantage.

Rusts while cooking.... That seems a little extreme. How if i may ask, how did you season it, and with what. There is alot of good videos on YouTube, and even if you screwed it up all is not lost & can be fixed.
Just clean the wok really good with soap and then cook some beacon or making fried chicken. If you don't want to do that, just add 1T vegetable oil and cook a low temperature for 5-10 minutes. You can also seasoning with 1T vegetable oil and use paper towel to completely coat the wok. And then burn until change color to light blue/silver color on the wok. I refer cooking beacon or making fried chicken.

I bought this back in 2021, works great, but heads-up, this wok is heavy AF, I'm the only person at home who can hold it with single hand ...

I see, that makes sense. I usually put protein in a dish to add later back.

I've been contemplating a wok for some time since I fell in love with this huge one at a professional kitchen. But for my own use so far, I don't really do big quantities.

Another nice thing is that you don't have to worry about knocking food out of the pan. Also for you other home cooks, you can use it to steam, just gotta get a cover and a steamer rack.

Also warning to you lazy home cooks, do not get this, a wok is a lot of maintenance for you lazy folk.
Am lazy, and barely cook for my single self, so thanks for the heads up.

LOL #truth (sort of -- not a pain at all if you know what you're doing but read wok reviews and every other one is somebody who got rust and sticking then threw it away)
We are pretty lazy, but our carbon steel wok isn't much work to maintain. We just make sure to clean and dry it completely, then put on a light coating of oil before putting it away.
Seasoning ours did take a lot more than the 1/2 hour the OP mentioned. It smoked up the house pretty good, too. When I was done, the coating looked a bit uneven. Still, food doesn't stick and we haven't had any rust.

Round bottoms are great if you have the stove for it. If you're electric, do not get a round bottom.

So it wasn't this brand. It was very similar highly rated on Amazon which I know doesn't mean a lot lately but it was one of the popular ones. I didn't cheap out. I was trying to buy a good quality wok.

I followed the seasoning process as provided. Which was to wash, coat with oil heat to high until entire wok turns blueish black then wipe off excess oil and repeat process 3 times but it was not required. I think I did it twice.
You ned to oil it up after use

That actually does look like a good deal and probably a good wok, but it's so hard to know. Flat bottom 14" woks vary in thickness of the steel, angle off the handle, and diameter of the flat area vs slope of the sides. The Sur La Table hits a sweet spot on those things, per reviews. Not sure about this one, but maybe worth trying.
