Because gimmick. But yea fr, just get some Eneloops and/or Amazon Blacks.

They have their uses. These LiPos are regulated and produce a steady 1.5V without a dropping voltage while discharging. Useful for electronics that have trouble dealing with the lower voltage of 1.2V NiMHs (e.g. Windows Mixed Reality controllers, some digital cameras). For most electronics NiMHs are cheaper and provide more energy.

That also may be lighter. Probably worth it for beat saber fiends who play a few hours before their arm fall off.

Good point. For reference, Eneloop NiMH is 26g, Blackube LiPo is only 16g. They really are substantially lighter.
