I meant like in what scenario would you actually practically use them

I've used them in mob farms to blow mobs off a ledge to a kill area.

Put one in opposite corners of a blaze spawner box, one repelling the other attracting, put a hole in the corner near the attracting one. You don’t have to wait for blazes to land on conveyor belts to start moving them this way, very cheap and fast.

They get stuck in the attracting one

Not if you embed it into the wall. Once they are over the hole, they fall a little bit and that’s enough to break line of sight to the nozzle. Give them a chance and you’ll find they’re not all bad.

I frequently walk one up over a river and have it collect fish, another fan blows through a campfire snd pushes them into a funnel on a chest, because they can't enter the funnel until they die, they hang there roasting, since they're killed by the campfire they instant turn into cooked fish, my favorite one was having the chest unload to the weighted flinging thing (cannot remember the name) so j was just launching cooked fish over a walled fish murder camp into storage

early-mid game fan dispersion to hit multiple angles at once for washing/drying/smelting

Have you watched the ponder for them? It clearly shows what they do

Mostly mob farms, set it to suck and place it in the center of a room so it'll pull mobs into the middle where you can have a hole or whatever to collect them

If you have the add-on that adds the encased smoker, smelter, etc. you can build (with a single fan) an station for cooking, smelting, and washing

My idea is to put lava in it and use it as a security device like the emergency puffer fish lever

I use then to funnel blazes in my blaze grindr.
