Sourdough is the bomb though. I agree about the lack of variety, but in its defense, sourdough starter can be used for a variety of other baked goods.

Yes it's a common misconception that you can only make wide crumbed hipster crusty loaves. Those are great but if you want plain white bread, buns, croissants, etc etc it's all possible to do.
Plus bread itself is used in other recipes, like sandwiches or toasts or for mopping up sauced dishes.
Or even brew beers and meads.
As others have said it’d wreck the flavour but you can go the other way and use spent grain from the mash in making bread which adds some pretty interesting texture and flavour.
With sourdough these would not be great. I did something similar with a mead and it came out like a sauerkraut wine
