The first is that it has a camera with a large fisheye that can show you the inside (though this is more useful when away from the fridge rather than using the screen). The issue is the camera is only at one point. The fisheye helps see more, but it can never see all the fridge.
The second is as a home assistant in the kitchen. This is actually useful. It can display recipes and whatever in it whole you cook. You can also use a phone, tablet, or other home assistant device for this though, but if you want to throw away money this does seem convenient.
They also can show arbitrary stuff, so it’s great for todos, family reminders, etc. We bought a chalkboard-like thing (wet chalk?), but a thin whiteboard would work too.
My wife prefers using a tablet to cook since she can move it around (from the prep counter to next to the stove). I use my phone.
We bought a new fridge recently, and while the smart features looked cool, I don’t trust them to get security updates, nor am I willing to pay a premium for cool features on a fridge that’s likely to have problems (Samsung and LG have the coolest features and the worst repair track records).
Still wandering what use has such a simple machine like a fridge for a 32" screen…
Porting Skyrim onto it?
Can it run Crysis?
There are two (fairly lackluster) uses for it.

Whiteboard?
my wife and I use these, they rule so long as you don’t make mistakes
Blackboard, but I guess it’s just a dry-erase with black background instead of white.
I mistook it for this other thing or this thing my wife got before with these liquid chalk markers. The dry-erase blackboard is on our fridge, and this one is on our wall near our fridge.
