Oh boy, strace is soooo useful, and not just for coding or sysadmin.
As a user, when e.g. my browser does funky stuff like freezing for no reason, my knee-jerk reflex is always strace.
I was initially a little put down by the russian style moody intro (the longish "why would you use such an antiquated thing as strace in 2023" which made me think he was going to tear down strace), but stick with the video past it, it is actually an ode to strace and it's well worth it.
Personnaly, I never realized strace had this many features.

I'm currently trying to figure out why the whole Chrome UI started freezing intermittently last two weeks, when scrolling, switching tabs, etc. What you're suggesting is using dtrace (MacOS) and see what's the output around that given time?
