a lot.it sounds like you are giving an opinion on something you have no personal experience with (i could be wrong), so some of your "facts" are wrong or misplaced. it sounds like you just have an opinion that you dont like it. thats fine, but you pivoted your argument of "time investment for me" ,which is negligible at best, and how it isnt worth the time/effort spent, to now asking what the benefit is.
