I agree to a point, but with academic projects there's typically a large amount of code that wouldn't benefit from being in a notebook environment. Also, more and more journals are shifting towards interactive figures, however, you don't need Jupyter to develop such figures.

That's the only use I've found for it - education or explaining code. However I assume based in its popularity people use it for more than that.
