What exactly is the use case for this package?

I mean, I understand it's to display models in the browser, but it's not clear to me why I should use this package instead of something like threejs. The documentation lacks use cases.

@ax00b3, you can think of Model Viewer as a high-level abstraction to display 3D models on the web. It makes it faster just by utilizing a custom HTML element, "model-viewer" as compared to using ThreeJS, where you have to set it up from scratch.

For ThreeJS, you can use it for more detailed visualisation with more complex interactions.

It's also important to note that the Model-Viewer itself is a wrapper over ThreeJS
