I use them for additional network adaptors in one host.
In another I use them for NVMe adaptors for an ancient MB that predates the existence of the m.2 interface.

Once upon a time, the theatre was the only place to watch a film.
So, the box office takings were the only income and sole measure of the success of a film.
That metric has hung around, but the modes of film consumption have expanded.
It's as if it needs amending, with some sort of amendment.
X* predates almost everything still in common use.
Which is, frankly, amazing.
It's also why Wayland took (is taking) so long. It has to compete against X11 with decades of development.
That's a tall order.
Had a similar incident with my son's hand-me-down laptop. It just sits on a desk with a monitor and what-not plugged into it. It's now a wide flat desktop.
Yeah, it's actually a good thing too!
When harvesting a field of, say beets, They're all harvested when most of them are the right size.
Some are too big and ugly, some are too small, most are just right.
"Binning" them for different purposes maximises the utility of the whole harvest.
Anecdote time!
We have a tree growing up through our deck we built around the tree, it's been growing for sixteen years now since bailing the deck, we keep removing bits of the deck to make room for the tree.
Someone asked us why we don't just cut the tree down instead.
Two fundamentally different schools of thoughts.
All your canned/preserved produce are the not-big/pretty-enough produce.
So, they are the too small ones that still look nice.
The ugly ones are chopped/sliced/puréed etc.
Look, we'll just have to figure out what a sustainable rape would be.
many people can overlook their particular part
People are amazingly good at this.
"I just make the munitions, I don't use them".
"I just load the munitions, I don't actually fire the weapon".
"I just fire the weapon, I didn't put my target into the warzone".
"If I wasn't, someone else would anyway".
I do this, except with Ubuntu and a btrfs volume for root.
My motherboard supports UEFI, so it doesn't care where the EFI partition is. It's on a USB stick.
The way I did it was by installing to a SATA SSD and then moving the EFI partition to the usb stick and then substituting the SATA SSD with the NVMe SSD using btrfs.
I think I also needed to use reEFInd temporarily to give me an UEFI shell to do some debugging.
Oh! I also setup systemd-boot so I could trivially boot the kernel directly from UEFI, stored on the EFI partition and avoided grub altogether.
Rather, I bought from the vendor who contributed their GPU drivers to the Linux Kernel. It just so happened that's AMD.
NVIDIA sycophants hate that one weird trick.
