Inventions are often used for purposes other than their original intention. Chainsaws, for example, were conceived of as surgical instruments. Maxipads were designed to soak up blood from wounds (handy, if you misuse a chainsaw).
Similarly, canned crescent rolls can be put to uses other than as mere baked crescent rolls. Takeout has a roundup of 13 uses for canned crescent roll dough, including to make beignets, apple dumplings, and breakfast casserole. My favorite, though, is s'mores made with crescent roll dough as demonstrated by the food blog Lemon Tree Dwelling.
Slightly off topic: I recently used canned crescent rolls as part of a set of ongoing culinary experiments. These have been successful and I plan to, in about a month, inflict upon the world an original recipe that will offend half of you and delight the other half.
