Unironically: For in-house scripts and toolboxes where I want to set stuff like input directory, output directory etc. for the whole toolbox, and then just run the scripts. There are other easy solutions of course, but this makes it really quick and easy to just run the scripts when I need to.

But those would be constants, not variables.

I typically don't declare them as such - bring the pitchforks!

Everything’s a variable if you’re brave enough.
