Just speaking for myself.
I use substacks for different windows (modal or nonmodal) in my
application. A substack rarely has more than one card, which has the
controls for that window laid out the way I want them. Also, substacks
can just be script libraries or other sorts of libraries (icons, images,
etc.)
So I already use substack as different layouts in native apps. If moving
to the web, they effectively become different "pages" (or screens or
layouts of controls)
I think I have 1 app where I still use multiple cards to store data, one
record per card. If I have a chance to redo this, the data will be
stored in a property or variable and the stack will have a single "card"
or layout where the current record of data is displayed as the user
navigates through it.
For the most part, I already think of a substack as synonymous with a
window/screen/page layout of controls for an app.

Just caught up on this and really enjoyed it. Obviously the team has been
working hard, and created something really special.
My question is conceptual, not a technical/features based one, so I am raising
it here because I would be really interested in folks views.
Kevin states towards the end of the video that substacks are still there and
still work, but LC folks are moving away from that metaphor in favour of
‘layouts’. Now I had watched the whole video with my mental model being
‘layouts’ correspond to a (very smart) group on a card. In light of what
Kevin said that must be wrong, but I can’t quite see how the Create metaphor
maps onto the ol’ Xtalk hierarchy of things.
