I still don't get why anyone is buying inkjet printers for the past 20 years. It makes zero sense to me.

Why is anyone buying a printer at all?

Hey, printer people out there! What do you you use your printer for? My printer is just sitting idle collecting dust. Can’t think of anything I would need to print. Everything is digital these days.

In less developed countries, you'd need printed copies for a lot of stuff, especially legal documents.

Speaking from experience.

Exactly this. I live in a first-ish world country around Asia, and the moment you need paperwork dealt in any other nearby country, a printer is going to save you lots of trips to the convenience store.
