"Useless" is a bit strong, but the comment emphasizes the tool's most important limitation.

I might've said "Since WhatTheFont doesn't include fonts typically used on web sites, this tool is radically more effective when identifying fonts used in printed materials."

I'd like to understand if the team considers this to be a problem that they plan to solve, or if WhatTheFont will only identify fonts that they can monetize. (No judgement either way.)
