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.

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.
