Sorry, "would be super useful" be "would have helped me".

Maybe those have different meanings to you? They mean more or less the same to me?

One is an objective statement of the world, the other is a subjective statement about you personally.

If these things mean the same to you, you're not parsing the English correctly, which points to a larger comprehension issue that further explains why you didn't get the original sarcasm.
