The value is you can leave it on your wrist without having to take it off all the time to charge it. Like a normal watch. It's one less thing to have to have go flat on you because you forgot to charge it the night before. One less thing to be a slave to charging.

But you don't need 18 days for that. Like I said, I understand wanting a few days. Why do you need a few weeks? It seems like at that point it becomes even more likely that you would forget to charge because it never becomes a routine.

the importance for me isn't actually the idle battery life itself (even for phones or laptops that isnt the case). The high battery life allows me to use GPS for 8-12 hours on my Coros, which is usually >20 days of idle use with infrequent HR, elevation, etc.
