I love 8BitDo’s products, but I really have no idea what use case those giant buttons are attempting to cater to.

They aren’t good for gaming, and are way too limited when compared to multi-button Stream Decks.

I understand they are detachable, but they just look like e-waste to me.

Looks like a novelty gimmick e.g., have a scripted sequence for starting a build.

In the past I've seen people having these type of buttons on their desktop and are mostly motivated by a joke that worked for a couple of days.

I have a large button on my desk that sets all the lights to red and turns on some sexy music.

I have never used it.

That's a missed opportunity to set it for general quarters or some very sexy action stations.
