Seems like 1/2 of SD posts for items over 100 bucks contains someone who insists that a lesser product is the way to go irrespective of quality.
One reason already cited in this thread is that battery life is longer on a bike computer.
Could I do most (or even all) those functions with my phone? Sure, but it's worth the money to me to have the separation. I'm not fighting notifications from other apps, the screen readability is better in direct sunlight than my phone's screen, the battery life is much better with screen/GPS on, no screen timeout settings to adjust for rides, etc. Mostly conveniences, but if I crash and break my bike computer, I can still use my phone to call for help.
I paid for $427 for mine and don't regret the purchase. I feel like I rarely see these go on major discount, so $380 seems like a solid deal unless it's eligible for the periodic 20% off REI codes (they often exclude GPS products).

Also most of the routing apps like ridegps requires a paid subscription if you want offline routing. You would end up having to pay if you ride in the mountains or gravel trails.
It is just an extra toy if you are riding the same route every week or on a leisure exploration ride. In that case, phone prob do what you need fine.
