I don't mean "why would people use it", I can see benefits for sure, it's just so... contrived... that it really seems like a terrible implementation of whatever the government/companies actually meant to incentivize.
It's better than nothing at all, but it definitely seems worse than a lot of other ways this could have been implemented.

The alternative is probably just deducting medical costs, but that's worse: can't do it unless your costs are significant (there's a % of income required and it needs to get over the standard deduction too). But yeah. Pretty terrible.
