I teach an electronics class and a barebones version of this is one of the early logic gate labs: an SR latch built using NAND gates. It can set and reset a bit!
This is the perfect gadget for teaching electronics and logic.
If I was to teach such a class, I would set up exactly that circuit without telling them what it is, and let the kids find out: “You’ve got three LEDs and four DIP switches. Here you have a circuit diagram of it. What is this thing?”
Education.
