This is a weird take. The command is obviously useful in the context it's useful in. To point out that it's less useful outside that context is not very meaningful. It's like saying ls is the wrong command, because "what you want is a full file manager, with thumbnails and drag and drop and whatnot". Well, if that's what you want, you're obviously in a different context than the one you're in when you're reading the man page of ls, no?
