I guess in theory what you say could be correct, however in practice this tool has been very helpful for client work of editing, cleaning, cropping and even slight modification of Gaussian splats. I could see a similar argument for raster images in general -- they are hard to edit as you're modifying individual pixels and it's not efficient, but we've seen tools grow from MS Paint to modern Photoshop to become very useful. I think the same could be said here -- it's just early and we're at the "bytecode" level as you say.
