I apologize that this will seem like, well it IS frankly, more reaction than is really justified, sorry for that. But this question is an example of a thing people commonly do that I think is not good and I want to point it out once in a while when I see it: There are infinite use-cases for everything beside one's own tiny personal experience and imagination. It's not remarkable that someone tested for the best version of something you personally don't have a use for. Pretend they hadn't answered the question. The answer is it doesn't matter. They stated a goal of x, and compared present-x against testing-x and found present-x was the better-x. "Why do they want x when I only care about y?" is irrelevant. I mean you may be idly curious and that's not illegal, but you also stated a reason for the question which makes the question not idle but a challenge (the "when I only care about y" part). What I mean by "doesn't matter" is, whatever their use-case is, it's automatically always valid, and so it doesn't change anything, and so it doesn't matter. Their answer happened to be something you probably agree is a valid use-case, but that's just happenstance. They don't have to have a use-case you happen to approve of or even understand.
