Request-scoped DI (as seen in ASP.NET MVC) is great on the backend for servicing requests. You can ask for e.g. a class representing the current user information to be injected anywhere, or to keep track of request-associated state like opentelemetry spans, or a transaction, etc. The alternative is to pass the user information class or transaction to all other services, which can be annoying
Its rarely seen in the ecosystem as a solution, unfortunately (everyone is passing all arguments all the time), but its one of the rare places where this is still useful. I've had bad experience with the alternative (continuation local storage) and its not nearly as elegant.
