The utility to the iPad comes into play (for me) with Amazon Prime and Netflix.

At this time those vendors seem to allow download only into an iOS device. So they become handy in that respect when it comes to subscription content (vs pay content, like an iTunes movie).
 
Love mine as well. Out of all the laptops I have owned it a my favorite. The past few years nothing that new has been introduced until the new rmb. What I mean is I had the same silver mbp lineup since the unibody models were introduced.

So the new form factor was a nice change. If you have the ecosystem for it this thing shines. For me that ecosystem is a time capsule, Apple TV, and AirPods, I also have a iPhone 7 but that doesn't make a difference to this machine.

I plug all of these devices into a power strip and only ever have one cable coming out of this machine. No ports? No problem at all. This is the best laptop Apple has made in recent years.
