Otherwise, I saw someone say you can use the xbox phone app as a remote on Reddit, never tried that

The controllers work fine though, so this is mostly an aesthetic thing as to why you would want a remote. Unless maybe you don't want your family breaking or grotying up your $60 controller while they're snacking and watching the tube.

Most TVs can be controlled over HDMI now, so it's nice to be able to adjust volume and mute with dedicated buttons through the xbox instead of switching to my tv remote or using the hidden volume controls in the xbox menu.
It's also nice to have dedicated fast forward, skip, play/pause buttons so I don't have to remember what face or shoulder button to hit.
The remote doesn't turn off after a few minutes like the standard controller does, easier to pause something right away. just small benefits that add up

Penalty is the line of sight. Honestly though, for me, it's really frustrating and I often end up using the controller rather than fuss with uncovering the sensor. Kid puts little toy cars everywhere.
