I don't get it


I don't see a lot of use for this. Unless it's for people who love to hear themselves talk.

But this is Apple's excuse:
The tech giant notes that these tools will help users who are speech-impaired. For example, a man who was diagnosed with ALS and is losing his ability to speak said, “If you can tell them you love them, in a voice that sounds like you, it makes all the difference in the world.”

[...]

Personal Voice, will give users randomized text prompts to generate 15 minutes of audio. Another feature, Live Speech, will allow users to save commonly used phrases for the device to speak during phone calls and in-person conversations.
Not sure why you can't just speak yourself.  If  you are losing your ability to speak, do it now.  Also, actions speak louder than words.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
