Honestly - CLI apps that need to run on multiple platforms. I once built a version of https://github.com/lovebrew/lovebrew (back when it was written in Nim) using Cosmopolitan 2, and I got back a single binary that ran on all major operating systems.

This greatly reduces the time GitHub actions would need to run, as you just build and release for one OS. As others have mentioned, this does not really work for native GUI apps, that isn't supported by Cosmopolitan as far as I know. But for small CLI tools it works great!
