You ask for a real world use case, it saves people time/energy and has value to them. You respond by saying it's bullshit and they're lazy, but the fact is there is a lot of communications like that in the world. Not everything needs to be a Pulitzer prize email that evokes monumental emotions in your soul. Sometimes you just need to convey some simple information in a general format

Sure, but you haven't grappled with the heart of my point, whether this is better for the readers as well.

And this is a straw man:

> Pulitzer prize email that evokes monumental emotions

There's nothing wrong with a plain and simple email. Indeed, I think that's generally better unless the writer finds it worth the time to write something fancier.
