I've personally used the browser dev tools in a "consumer" capacity, to:

- Filter content feeds by custom criteria

- Count the number of items in a list

- Tweak a blog post's styling to make it more readable

- Automatically click a large number of items at once (instead of manually)

- Delete cookie overlays and adblocker-detection overlays

Not that the average person would necessarily bother to do all of this stuff, but I think there's a larger space of usecases here than you're assuming
