With it being cast iron, once the heat is off the residue heat is still there and potentially over cooking. The food would have to be immediately versus a steel wok.
The pictures seems to show this use case as an individual Korean Stone Bowl.
Maybe too small for stir fry, but it would be great for dolsot bibimbap, paella for two, or any other dish where you want a nice, crispy socarrat-like crust to develop. Would also be good for a lot of Japanese donburi-style dishes.
Too bad the 6 1/4" isn't on sale. It would be great for small, individual-sized portions of all the above.

Make sure you understand what you are buying. A traditional wok is carbon steel because it needs to heat quickly but also cool quickly for high heat stir frying. Cast iron does the opposite of that, it retains heat really well. I'm sure there's good uses for a cast iron wok but I couldn't tell you what they are.

Yes, you should not be cooking with a cast iron wok. It does not function as a conventional steel wok

The other thing a carbon steel wok does really well is have an insulated handle attached that is movable with a single normal human's wrist. I can imagine having to train like Bruce Lee for 2 years before being able to do a one wrist wok-toss with this 9 pound chonk.
USES? If youre doing a griddle hibachi (a 'blackstone' for kids out there) then this indeed sits nicely on the cooktop for heating up sauce.

You wouldn't toss with a cast iron wok. Spatula only.

They might be better for an electric stove. ie, they the stove does not put out a whole lot of BTUs. You'd spend longer heating it vs carbon steel, but once it's hot it will stay hot long enough to cook your food despite the weak burner.
Maybe you could warm it to 180ish and use it to serve something like a cheesy dip? ie, it's a self-warming serving dish. The loop handles fit into this idea the best. The Baker's Skillet design drops the traditional skillet handle for loops on both sides to help save some space and make carrying with both hands easier.
It really seems like it's ideal use is to sit on a shelf, though. 9" is kind of small for a wok. Cast iron is going to be heavy and I don't see anybody tossing food around in it.

Edit: Sorry, I see that this is used for serving dishes, not for cooking in.
