What exactly is the appeal of talking to strangers about on a radio? Not crapping on the hobby, I just don’t understand the appeal.
I also think I’d lock myself in a vault for the rest of my life if I could though.

They probably talk about high quality products that they intend to last through their lifetime.

When my wife and I go to the backcountry, we often don't have cell service. So, if I go for a trail run away from camp, or she takes the kids out on a raft, we use radios. They're also helpful on super long climbing routes where the parties have to separate.

When you are off-roading, usually you are in a group telling your friends what’s up ahead and what to look out for. You are also on a set channel so the people you would be talking to would already know you. Also, in some scenarios you need someone spotting you and a radio is the best way to do this. Another case is if you are winching out of a tough spot and someone is on your winch line, you can communicate with each other safely.
