It's a toy for people who are interested in hacking/pentesting. Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone, but without the toy like aspects.
Tbh you can do literally everything that a PC can with a phone. Doesn't mean that a phone is the most fun to use for whatever you're trying to use it for.
"Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone"
No, you can't do everything with a phone. A phone doesn't have the same radios, GPIO for expandability, IR transceiver, etc. Not to mention the radios a phone does have doesn't like it when you start forcing it to do fun things.
Wait... a cell phone can clone, erase, and reprint an rfid chip?
Depends but it's definitely possible. Friend had a mid-high level phone some 2-3 years ago and did it and my Xiaomi 9 does it.
Some RFID are encrypted though so I guess they're out of scope.

Can't burn a CD.
You sure you can't with the same usb drive you'd need for anything made in the last decade?
With an external USB disk drive you can.
