A junction FET is widely used for impedance conversion. What is it for?

Generally, the gate input terminal (G) of an FET has high impedance. A typical application of a junction FET is a source follower circuit where an output load resistor is connected to the source (S) terminal as shown below. Its gain is approximately 1.
