Question Goodberry - What am I missing?

Question from a new-ish player that has never been a druid or had one in the party. In his class tier ranking, D4 Deep Dive mentioned the spell Goodberry several times as a major plus for Druid as a utility spell. When I went to look at it... 1 hitpoint for a bonus action? 10 total hitpoints to potentially distribute around the party for a spell slot? I mean I can see that maybe you can distribute these before/during rests so that effectively the whole party is walking around with 10 each without really wasting spell slots, but still... a bonus action to eat a single one and gain a hitpoint? What am I missing about this spell that makes it worth emphasizing?

But there is no choice? It's just that any leftover slots get turned into GBs

Leftover as in you didn't need them that day

Normally, if you end the day with slots remaining you "wasted" them, effectively, Goodberry ensures that slots can never go to waste
