I like that landlines call a house, not a person. If I call my parents' landline, I never know which of them I'm going to talk to, and sometimes I just want to talk to "my parents" and not specifically pick which one.
I also like that landlines can't be used to hijack your brainstem to the same degree that smartphones can. My friend's five year old gets to call her grandpa and grandma whenever she wants but can't get pulled into some YouTube Kids nonsense just because the screen was handy.
