Real question here.

Why? Why does this exist?

Answered by DustinBrett

I've given many answers throughout the years to that question:

Make a custom personal site to showcase my blog posts (instead of WordPress)
Learn best practices for TypeScript & React through trial and error
Excuse to make videos for my YouTube channel
Give people the experience as if they had RDP'd into my local machine and could see my files/programs
Have a side project to showcase to possible employers
Satisfy my desire to build and have a hobby around computers
Test to what degree it is possible to create an operating system in the browser

Likely there are many more reasons, but these are the ones I recall.
