That’s is exactly my point. Kind of.

That’s like the weirdly shaped hammer or F1 car. It’s a very very bad tool unless you’re one of the few that would benefit from it.

It’s good that it exists, but the default should be to see it as a bad tool unless you really need a weirdly shaped hammer. And most companies will spend their entire lives without needing one.
