Just curious if anyone uses it and finds it useful. I cannot find any utility in it but was curious what use scenarios there are out there where it could be handy.

I think it’s an AppleVision UI element shoehorned into MacOS. It’s useless on the desktop. Apple is obviously trying to unify their experience across devices, but they will learn the hard way (like Microsoft did) that this may make things simpler for developers, but not users. A TV, a tablet, a phone, a VR headset, and a desktop shouldn’t try to use the same UI.

Hard agree there. I see how it can be helpful for new users of the platforms but it’s painful for those who have worked in the space for years.
