The GPU can play games from steam while you stare endlessly at the 1 hour this recharge is going to take, lol. And yeah, a ton of Tesla fanboys love quoting 0-60 but get real quiet when you ask about weight or quality.

The average fast charge is a smidge above 20min

Most chargers take 3s when you plug it in at home. Which is nicer than gas.

Yes...depending on battery discharge state and, rather violently, on how lucky you are on charger use and functionality. It is a large gamble in most parts of the US depending on times and luck. You absolutely couldn't plan a calendar appt around it without adding 30 minutes of buffer.

Also the point was around gaming, if you are gaming in the car in your garage instead of on a proper TV, you are spending your money weirdly.

You can say the exact same thing about driving a traditional ICE vehicle 5+hours due to traffic. EV is a bit less convenient on road trips - yes; but it's much more convenient every other day of the year if you have a home charger.

These cars have ranges in the hundreds of miles, how far are your appointments? If I have an appointment that far away, my whole day's already shot.

Almost all car infotainment systems are underpowered. Having GPU is a good sign for future proof.

Isn't a hardwired GPU a bad sign for future proofing? Isn't an HDMI port and a power connection a good sign for future proofing?

HDMI is not enough, unable to touch screen and no signal/control about car status. CarPlay/Android Auto is another solution, but underpowered chip tend to be annoying also for them.

It's used for the full self driving. So since it's there, they let you game on it.

No, it's not.

Unless you count on-screen [FSD] visualization.

I think you are right, I'm not sure why it's there then.

For entertainment while you're charging your car.

For playing steam games!

Weren't you supposed to still hold the wheel and take over in case of something goes wrong?
