Seems like they'd still protect you from anything that records your password and TOTP, but doesn't gain access to your store? E.g. a website gets some JS injected that skims your login. Which doesn't seem all that unlikely.

Basically it becomes "just" replay prevention. Which is a nonzero benefit, but totally agreed that it's not at the same level as a separate generator of some kind.
