> What are the legitimate use cases for third-party cookies?

None, looking at it from a web users' perspective

You can make up scenarios that require them, but these are artificial and contrived, and boil down to "I can extract more value"

When you are the one extracting value, and you are an articulate intelligent person, I expect you will have screeds and screeds of logical sounding reasons why third party cookies are good for me as a web user.

You would be wrong

I have been deleting them for years.
