On normal street driving on public roads and with other cars, how do you even use launch control?

So apart from being a number and good for making a bunch of YouTube videos why does 0-60 matter ? Don't get me wrong I am just curious. It seems this 0-60 argument is the number one thing EV fans in particular Tesla fans brag about but I never get their point as it is a useless figure for me.
