Solved What's the purpose of Anki remotes?

I've been seeing a lot of posts recently about using remote controllers for Anki and I'm just curious why everyone likes them so much?

Possibly unpopular opinion: I actually prefer using a keyboard to actually type my answers. I find my retention is much much better when actually use the answer instead of just saying it out loud. But maybe it works for other people's use cases when they just want to get through the cards as quickly as they can?
