Hunting, competition, and LARPing are where the LPVO excel.
Apparently the US military believes they're also pretty useful for designated marksman rifles
More relevant is the Army’s procurement of a different Tango 6 LPVO as an ACOG replacement for the “direct view optic” on standard M4A1s:

Of course it is worth remembering that these choices are heavily influenced by experiences in Afghanistan where longer ranges are the norm.
I’m viewing the LPVO from a civilian’s perspective.
In that case basically every gun I own is purely for LARPing
I do sincerely think LPVOs are a lot more fun from a sportsman's perspective than a red dot. I find dumping ammo into nearby targets with an AR gets pretty old, pretty fast. Particularly in the current ammo climate...
Positive ID and precision shots on partially exposed targets at shorter ranges are valid uses for both CONUS LE and some civilian users, though more so in rural areas.
LPVO's don't make RDS obsolete, they each have areas where they excel.
Viper PST. 30 yard shot
A job well done to the officers involved.

I saw him turn the mag ring before he took the shot. I wonder which way it went?
That 30 yard shot, supported, in broad daylight is one of those times an LPVO worked, but didn’t help.
