FF is the SUV of sensor sizes.
Actually almost nobody really needs this size but (((the manufacturers))) like it because they can sell larger cameras and lenses to (YOU) who could use smaller less expensive solutions in most cases. Often the FF camera is so heavy that it stays at home and people use the smartphone instead.
Micro Four Turds sensors are to large for smartphones atm, but they're large enough to make capable cameras with a variety of lenses for all kinds of use cases. APS-C is a bit larger with the advantages and the disadvantages the comes with the size. FF is even larger and there are different medium formats that make sense for a few demanding use cases.
At the end it's just like with cars. (((The manufacturers))) don't like to build the small ones and advertise the need of large cars that can go cross country and transport heavy machinery. Thank God most people who bought this never try to do this in real life.
With cameras it's the same. We all know that a mid-tier smartphone (I own a Pixel 7 which is dirt cheap atm) has a large enough sensor for daily snapshits but it can't do everything normal people need. MFT and APS-C can do this. FF is needed for professional shoots like high quality indoor sports, product images in advertising and such but even the high quality TV productions of the most expensive sports are done with much smaller sensors and we can do this all with croppled sensor cameras for the normal results that are needed for YouTube and Instagram on the smartphone, monitor or TV-screen.
