I think some are being a smidgen too hard and dismissive about this.

That you can do this a bunch of other ways isn't really the point at all. Doesn't even matter if it's easy to do.

The point is to make it very easy to do and to provide some additional features in the process.

I am all for "another way to do it" and especially if the goals are making it easier while adding functionality and it doesn't cost me anything.

That's a "win win win" even if you never use it.
