What is the intended or typical use for something like this? Testing other applications that send email comes to mind, or am I missing some other uses?

We heavily use it for end-to-end testing. The API is integrated into our Playwright tooling, so we run e2e tests that verify entire user flows including email "steps" - such as the new user registration flow ("Open landing page - click through to registration - fill out and submit form - find confirmation email in Mailpit - click link - log in with new user credentials").
