What is the use case of USB 3.x speed on a Smartphone?

Pulling large quantities of photos and videos off quickly usually.
Personally I don't care about this in 2023.

Putting media on/off the phone because have media that you own rather than a parade of streaming services that only have what they have till their license expires. Or want to have for offline usage where mobile service may not be freely available. I.e. load song and movie library onto phone before a flight, to not have to rely on questionable speed satellite internet if that airline isn't using starlink.

You can do that via VLC over WiFi. That's usually what I do. But most of the streaming services allow you to take offline cache.
TBF I don't have much of a need to move media on and off. It just happens.

USB 3.0 is not that big of a deal since for transfering files 480Mbit is still decent. But yeah with phones pushing performance in all places, it seams fitting to have 3.x
For example Apples lightning to HDMI adspters encode video to H264 or similar, send it over USB 2.0 then have a SOC from an older iPhone in the dongle to play back the streaming video out to HDMI. No need for any of that in USB-C
Oh and personaly i havent had Lightning cables break so much, but i seen others break them a lot.

Well, the point is, they even have it connected in the USB port and the SOC and disabling it because "buy the bigger one if you need this". The phone has Displayport output, which is using the high speed TX-RX pairs. So it's just the usual middle finger from apple.
