As someone who never got deeply into math but deeply into programming they just seemed like an incompletely generalized data structure with an interesting "canonical" algorithm that can be used on it. In some cases, if you arrange your data into the structure correctly, you can use it to model interesting real world phenomenon.
It feels like Linear Algebra tries to get at the heart of this generality but the structure and operator is more constrained than it ultimately could be. It's a small oddball computational device that can be tersely written into papers and widely understood. I always find pseudocode easier to follow and reason about but that's my particular bias.
