This generalizes interestingly to any tooling that makes things easier. You may feel more efficient with better tooling but it's an arms race and once everyone has access to it you're all competing equally again (and it's back to whoever puts in the biggest product of time and energy).

Hence why you should sell shovels in a gold rush, and why it's a bit of a lie to sell any tool as "be able to do 2x in the same amount of time", since that's only a short term effect until everyone is aware of it and '2x' is the expected new norm.
