Pardon my ignorance, but how else or what else would you use Homebrew?

A lot of people don't use containers/don't want to use containers. I guess Bluefin might just not be for them though.

This is my impression - if you explicitly don't want to use toolbox or devcontainers I don't think you're on Bluefin's happy path at all, and the maintainers don't seem concerned enough by that to improve other experiences.

Right, Bluefin is for container development.

Just since you are here, is it any good for Game dev with things like godot?

No but Bazzite DX is almost done so we can start working on Bazzite GDX soon, which is going to be our game dev image. Though hopefully as more things become flatpak native ideally someday the idea of specialized images won't be so necessary.

so Bluefin is using homebrew within containers only? why bother using homebrew at all then?
