A friend gave me some herbs (no, not those) and because I know he's a fan of Monero, I wanted to send him some XMR as a thank you (what a nice thing to say "thank you" with a cryptographically signed thank-you transaction in the format that the recipient prefers).

I own some Monero of course, but when I opened my Cake Wallet, it said it will sync for five minutes. So I closed it again, opened AnyPay and send it that way. It was way faster for me as a sender to just send it from my lightning wallet through AnyPay than to wait for the wallet to sync.

Of course sending took some time (less than a minute), but that happened on the background and i did not have to wait for it. Synced XMR wallet is faster, but it is rarely synced, so AnyPay wins most of the time.
