Sass Maps

So after watching this video, I just feel like it overly complicated media queries and it seems a bit redundant in this example.

Does anyone have any real world examples of when they use Sass maps and how they make code cleaner and more efficient?

Sass Maps aren't media queries at all. Whereas media queries are for helping you change layout/style at different breakpoints in the browser sass maps has a completely different function. For example, you could use a sass map to store data that you want to create classes from using functions.
