Is there any use case of SDDM other than log in to Plasma desktop?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know whether it's me or my hardware, but display managers seem to absolutely hate me. I've tried quite a few, and I've always encountered some sort of issue within a few days. Even on distros that install and set them up automatically for me.
Since I'm the only user of my computers, I've set mine up to log me in and startx (well, now the Wayland equivalent) automatically, bypassing DMs altogether. If I decide to experiment with other window managers/desktop environments, I just change the line in my bashrc.
