Strenght from Bridges Pushups

Hi, new guy here.
I know that bridge pushups are basically stretches for the shoulders, torso and hips and that gymnasts use them to increase the flexibility of these areas for more advanced skills.
I was wondering if there any strength benefits of performing bridge pushups? My glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, triceps and even the spinal erectors and quads seem to get a workout from them. There are also the one leg and the one arm versions ...
Can the move be used to increase overhead push or hip extension strength?
Thanks!

Yes this is one of the benefits.
