It's a toy for people who are interested in hacking/pentesting. Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone, but without the toy like aspects.

Tbh you can do literally everything that a PC can with a phone. Doesn't mean that a phone is the most fun to use for whatever you're trying to use it for.

"Sure, you can do everything it does with a phone"

No, you can't do everything with a phone. A phone doesn't have the same radios, GPIO for expandability, IR transceiver, etc. Not to mention the radios a phone does have doesn't like it when you start forcing it to do fun things.

Wait... a cell phone can clone, erase, and reprint an rfid chip?

Depends but it's definitely possible. Friend had a mid-high level phone some 2-3 years ago and did it and my Xiaomi 9 does it.

Some RFID are encrypted though so I guess they're out of scope.

You sure you can't with the same usb drive you'd need for anything made in the last decade?

With an external USB disk drive you can.
