What is the benefit of this over, for example, an iPhone hotspot?

Run one wireguard server in your home and one client instance on this router and now all of your devices can share the same residential VPN connection. No fraud blocks or extra verifications from your banking apps, no million suspicious login detected from all your social accounts, use your home netflix account, etc. All without your individual devices running a VPN app.

You don't need a "travel router" for this. My phone is permanently connected to my server via Wireguard (so that I can access my files from anywhere). Adding another device just requires adding a peer in the server's config file and can be accomplished very quickly. It's not clear what problem the travel router solves, unless perhaps you travel with dozens of devices.

I can personally do without those.

		I can accomplish this via one access point instead of configuring wireguard on N*5 family devices.

An iPhone can't bridge a wifi network. So you need something like a travel router to share a wifi connection.

chromecast - godsend on long hotel stays. need to dial in through my home (wireguard) so no license issues with streamers and once I connect my GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 to hotel wifi instant bubble of safe wifi for all my devices! weighs nothing, been using for 8 years rock solid.

You can control it from the ground up, including installing alternate firmware. You can also use VPNs etc.
