You can easily discard it if you can become 200% productive with better defaults on your machine. Like, do you also not use any plugins just because they aren't available on another machine?

Also the keyboard comparison doesn't work since it's not as hard to copy your editor to another machine

The vast majority of plugins don't fundamentally change how you interact with text.

So? Narrow it down to the most useful minority that do, the question still remains

If you narrow it down to that minority that fundamentally changes how you interact with text, then I think the answer is a pretty easy "Yes".
