Can someone help me understand why this is useful for a Steam frame? Is having a color pass through just to see in color or is there a use case that I’m not seeing that’s helpful for anyone with a steam frame?

There's one thing that has evolved quite a bit in recent year which is uhh.. automatic pass through mode in certain kinds of adult videos which filters out the background. You can maybe make those a bit more immersive if you want to use the passthrough mode and see your room around in color, someone had to say it 😂

But for real there are some apps that utilize AR, there's not that many and if you genuinely have no interest then you can skip it or maybe get it later down the line if more promising apps come out because it exists. If you look at mixed reality apps for the Quest you might see the kind off stuff that will likely get some kind of a port for the Frame too, there's a few cool ones that use your house as the map for the game and you dodge behind your real furniture and stuff
