I believe that they use it all day. I believe that they say they find it useful.
I also believe that their bosses gave them a productivity slot machine and told them if they don’t play it they’re fired.
So some of them like it for bad reasons, and some of them have to pretend to like it.
I’m a self employed old-timer engineer. I love the magic pattern machine box. Wish I had this back in the y2k bug fixing days.
I pay for it myself, as a business owner.
I pay for it because it solves real problems I have, and improves my quality of life.
