I don’t see the attraction of using AfterPay etc for small purchases like some people do but I have use other BNPL services in the past for larger (furniture) purchases. Basically for exactly the reason you say, allows spreading the cost out without credit card interest. For me it was really just a way to avoid draining savings after having just bought a house and I was comfortable about making the repayments.
