Inkjets still have a few advantages or are at least on par with Laser printers:

- Borderless printing (Photos, your invoices with a footer that has a blue background, …)

- Much cheaper to restock with 3rd party cartridges or even cheaper when you have one with refillable tanks

- You can print on photo paper and get out really nice looking photos. Generally the quality of images with a good Inkjet is better than laser imho

- You can print on a very broad array of different kinds of papers, formats and materials, many printers can even print on blu-ray discs and stuff like that

- Many modern Inkets use Ink that is water resistant, so you can use a marker pen on your printouts for example

- Time to first page is usually shorter (no warmup needed)

- No risk of Ozone hazards (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printing#Ozone_hazards)

- Usually smaller form-factor
