There are still a few use cases… mainly price. A 4TB 2.5" HDD can be had for less than a bottom-of-the-barrel 2TB NVME.
But I would definitely hesitate to bring spinning drives on a bumpy ride.

Spinning drives have a no place in a laptop. In a desktop at home, sure.

Absolutely no reason to put one in a new laptop.
But not all computers are new.

Sure. But even my ~8 year old laptop has an M.2 drive. I haven’t seen a spinning disk in anything I’ve considered buying in the last ~10 years.
