Who would use an e-chessboard, in what games against what other player?

Long ago, before the internet, I often played online, by telephone. Both players had a board. So each moved the opponent's pieces and his own. Neither had an advantage in time, and we played without clock anyway.
With an e-chess board the user is at a great disadvantage against a "mouse-player" in any games shorter than classic, because it is much faster shifting symbols on the screen than to move pieces physically over the board, even though you only move your own pieces. And of course also evaluating the 3-dimensional board takes more time than using the flat screen.
