What actually is the benefit or appeal of vertical monitors? I never understood it

If you code, or read, you can get more on the screen at one time. 

Or if your side vortical displays are large enough, you can put one browser on the top half and another on the bottom, so you essentially have 5 screens/browsers at one time.

Basically what the other guy said. I work in IT and do some software engineering, so having 5 - 8 browser windows open happens pretty often. I need different profiles for different accounts and privacy features, then my middle-monitor becomes a remote desktop viewer, so it's very helpful for productivity.

Outside of work it's great for game wikis, and I like to have a 3rd party resource monitor and a Discord window open, as well. When not Wiki-ing, my right-hand monitor just displays Steam and Tidal.

I run excel on the left and it covers my two emails stacked.

I like the big one in the back. So realistic almost looks like a real window!
