I don't know about everyone, but I found the whole PKM/second brain "industry" a bit much, I was never able to stick to complex rules and things like atomic notes.
Instead I mostly just write notes with hyperlinks: https://ezhik.jp/hypertext-maximalism/ https://ezhik.jp/hypertext-maximalism/
I like hoarding my notes. I don't actually have to come back to the notes I write unless I need them. Because I keep my system very simple, having lots of notes doesn't weigh on my mind.
My notes are glimpses of my old selves and old interests, but I like being able to trace a line between my old self and my present self. At the same time, I'm not really at odds with my past self - but we all have different relationships with time.

I think that ultimately their product is not a note-taking tool but a vague promise of structure that solves whatever issues the user has in keeping something organized.
