I would take the position of "why use this when I have eyes and hands and a brain?"

Why should I use a calculator when I can use an abacus?

Why use an abacus when I can just use my fingers and toes?

My guess is that this is for impatient people; people who think that the prescribed use cases are somehow necessary for their "workflows"; people who subscribe to terms like "cognitive friction" within the context of these use cases; people who are...sort of lazy.

...Why do these lazy people put so much effort into coming up with fancy words to justify that laziness?

That's a really good question. Maybe it's because laziness is associated with a lack of intellect? And certain technologies, like AI and other software, are meant to augment our intellect.

These fancy words carry an intellectual/productive effect. When they're put to use it probably makes people feel like they're getting things done. And they never feel lazy because of this.

Why use any tool when you have bare hands bla bla...

A good place to start is think about for example if you need to copy paste info from 100 websites to put into a spread sheet for example.
