Dropping your phone onto a pad on your nightstand rather than fumbling in the dark, being able to magnet stick your phone to its holder in the car and have it charge with no further action, etc.

IF you meet the entry qualifications, sure! Arbitrarily denying you access to federal programs would be denying your civil rights.
