Python's builtins, the standard library, and many popular community libraries and tools use docstrings to generate tooling and documentation websites. Describing it as "useful for a certain workflow" is so understated it borders on false.

All Python programmers already benefit from the docstrings written in the libraries they use, which generate tooltips and documentation websites.
