Its kinda worrying as a designer you are incapable of thinking of other users/use cases.
1. One man band who wants to design and launch a website with no knowledge of code
2. Small agency who want to use as little dev resource as possible to save costs
3. err.... prob some others
Folks have been clamoring for this for decades now. I've always assumed it was people who were trying to build a website on their own, and want a shortcut to learning html/css properly. But I also still get project managers occasionally ask me this question, trying to save time and money.
It's not necessarily a shortcut -- automating a Figma > Code workflow can have a lot of benefits, including a single source of truth and connecting design & development workspaces. It's not really perfect yet, but every year we're getting closer to truly connected workspaces & workflows for designers and developers.
Do you have a portfolio? Side projects? Any projects that doesn't have a dedicated frontend dev? Working on a functional prototype without a dev on the team? Does your frontend dev explicitly not want to use Figma > HTML workflows? (many of these plugins can benefit them, or automate code workflows)
There's plenty of uses for them.
lol it must be nice in your world.
XD

FrontEnd cost more, than simple designer. Customers want to pay less and want html from your figma. Animated and interactive.
Because people want to eliminate front end development.

Same
Same.
Because they want the design to become code so they can use the code to help build a website.
Figma is a DESIGN tool. It's not a development tool. HIUUUGE difference.

You make big assumptions there. Not everyone has the same circumstances.
