I'm just curious — what could be a potential use case for such things on the backend? For bot detection, it seems quite unreliable. Would it be more suitable for server-side rendered UIs? Or am I missing something?

The most obvious use, is to have a server that only delivers content relevant to the end-user device.

This would be very useful in limited-bandwidth scenarios.

Responsive sites aren’t the same. They deliver all the data, but filter it in the UI.

Obviously the formatting differ, but why would you deliver different content to different devices?

Analytics is the area I have seen this used the most.
