It's right there in the post:

Just think of families fleeing from war or persecution. This isn't rare by any measure, unfortunately.
that probably depends how many close family members they have abroad.

(The system is valuable for adults too, if some of your relatives live in a country which blocks Whatsapp and other voice calling apps, like Russia or China).
