There is a very specific use case for this: Apple ecosystem integration.

- Home theater -> iTunes movies play

- NAS -> iCloud clone with eventualy automation running

- Backup -> iCloud / Dropbox / Google Drive backup

- bonus: siri, xcode builds, local+ third party remote iOS backup

I have a raspberry pi setup handling the above for Google + dropbox. The day I want to switch to an Apple centric system I’d move to the Mac mini in a heartbeat.
