There is no need to "understand the hype", as a) there is none and b) it mostly comes down to personal preferences. When you're happy with your current workflow using other tools - that's totally fine, good for you. But, you know, there are people out there who are really looking forward to an alternative Browser-UI that 1) is very fast, 2) has a lot of configuration/features the others lack and 3) does not require you to install buggy/slow/tracking extensions for each and every single thing you want to change.

e.g. having a vertical tab list out of the box is great, even when it still lacks some nice features from Tree Style Tabs.

I use Chrome as my main browser and the lack of vertical tabs is about the only thing that really frustrates me. It's almost enough to switch to Firefox.

Such as? I find it less customizable than Firefox or Chrome

Vertical tabs - lot of users want it, but chrome devs close the feature requests.
Ah, ok. They are however available in Firefox as an extension, aren't they? Or at least that used to be the case
I tried the Vivaldi version of this a few months ago and it unfortunately does not meet the feature set of Tree Style Tabs. It isn't a worthwhile alternative, for me.
Yes, they are available with the Tree Style Tabs extension
