Whats the point of cooking with alcohol, like vodka, if the point is to boil/cook it all out? What is the purpose of adding it then if you end up getting rid of it all?

Most alcohol also has flavor. When you cook with it, you’re trying to add that particular flavor to the dish; for example, I may want pasta sauce to have the taste of white wine as part of the flavor profile. Or I want to add a bourbon flavor to my BBQ sauce.
Yes the alcohol generally cooks off, but the point wasn’t to make the food boozy. The flavor will stay even after the alcohol cooks off.
