Please someone tell me a scenario, where I would use the eyewear-free 3D features in everyday life? Not just a magic trick, but an actual practical use.

In the Nintendo 3DS the 3D felt great, specially in the second iteration with the cameras that auto adjust the 3D effect based on your eyes position. Outside of gaming I can’t see any practical use. 3D movies always felt weird to me.

Funny enough, I think subtle 3D depth effects on 2D games were some of the best uses of the 3DS' technology.
An UI built around subtle depth could be really nice, flat design has made everything very... well, flat.

agree, I'm at this point so burnt out on flat UI designs. Its been 10 years now and I have had enough

I think the big issue is that for most 3D releases it's more of an afterthought. It is however pretty cool in movies specifically made for it such as the Avatar movies.

Google Maps?

I was searching for somewhere the other month and with my phone didn't realise it could superimpose things like that

I had an HTC EVO 3D back in the day. Total gimmick. But that was a long time ago.
