I know they'd be awesome for boiling water to purify it but it seems like a lot of money and weight when I could boil it in a pot. That said I think in a collapse situation having one of those squirreled away at a bug out location would make it worth it's weight in gold.

Quality Kelly and similar stoves use their air flow design to ensure they are far more energy and thermally efficient than ordinary cookers. Some are advertised as being able to heat a pint of water or soup to eating temp in under a couple of minutes. Thats both precious fuel and exposure time saved.
