Its soft and conducts at 70% of copper so it's great for contacts for electronic equipment

barely oxidizes

supply increases at a slow and sheady rate of about 2% a year

used for other electronics like circuit boards (not sure why to be honest, so might just be parroting this last point)

I'm curious too tbh, but I think that list is already pretty good (along with the fungibility and inner golumn arguments earlier in the thread)

ape do like shiny
