What's the actual use case of this? Wouldn't it be better to do that directly on the server?

A use case would be backup the list of task on a computer, without third-part server.

I presume most people here run a local CalDAV server, which is the logical place to back up the data. Otherwise it can be done with the desktop client. For example, in Thunderbird, there's an "export" item under the "Events and Tasks" menu, and CSV is one of the format options given in the "Open File" dialog that pops up. Easy peazy!

How do you set up a local CalDAV server on an android device or linux desktop offline? Does the Tasks app save the CSV files automatically? Where is the app saving them?

The app doesn't have this feature yet. See #170

You cannot setup a CalDAV server on an Android phone. As for Linux, there are billions of how-tos out there. The easiest to install is probably Radicale.
