Just because it's there doesn't mean you need to use it all, that's like spending your whole paycheck at once because "you'll get another one in 2 weeks!".
Any application that does the same job with less resources and the same or greater performance is unequivocally, objectively better.
Also, benefits of claims like easier and faster updated are rendered pretty moot when developers next spend that time changing things for the sake of it: Spotify app feels like it has since pointless, un-requested UI change every month. And VSCode can't even update Idle, decor that being one of the lauded benefits...
