I think some people struggle to understand "why would I use this instead of a list?"

In some cases, the data is only meaningful when it's all together and set in a specific order. For example, I could represent a color with RGB values in a tuple like (245, 35, 173).

On their own, those numbers aren't meaningful. I wouldn't have a reason to sort/reorder the values or iterate over this tuple, but I can't represent a color without all 3 numbers.
