I know you weren't implying this, but not every storyboard is for sharing with (or seeking approval from) decision makers.

I could see this being really useful for exploring tone, movement, shot sequences or cut timing, etc..

Right now you scrape together "kinda close enough" stock footage for this kind of exploration, and this could get you "much closer enough" footage..

I think of it in terms of the anchoring bias. Imagine that your most important decisions are anchored for you by what a 10 year old kid heard and understood. Your ideas don’t come to life without first being rendered as a terrible approximation that is convincing to others but deeply wrong to you, and now you get to react to that instead of going through your own method.

So if it’s an optional tool, great, but some people would be fine with it, some would not.

Absolutely. Everyone's creative process is different (and valid).
