Why not? I use it without syncing just for the search functionality which is really useful to me and saves me quite a bit of time. I'm sure the syncing is useful but I don't care about my shell commands enough to want them synced across all the machines I use.

I can only repeat myself: the syncing is advertised as the main feature, it's the USP. There are plenty of other tools that improve ctrl+r.
Note that not syncing is also an advertised use case.
