They operate as a kind of niche lifestyle thing that doesn't apply to everyone. It's a great option for those instances where you aren't actively doing any mental work but want something to listen to:

transportation
household chores
as a break between tasks

Music can also fit this niche, as well as audiobooks (I do all three).
