The question that the Professor asks is not the right one.
The question that should be asked is "Why use external supplementary product at all?"
The problem with every edition of The Only Game That Matters after AD&D1e, with so many Never-Weres and Also-Rans, and with so many delusional beggars on Kickstarter (etc.) is that they do not provide the end user with the tools necessary produce all playable content organically and emergently through a series of procedures and tables.
AD&D1e has that. Classic Traveller has that. There are a few others. Most, however, are lobotomized non-games that funnel buyers into Endless Product Slop in order to get a functional game followed playable content.
That's why, despite all the talk, products like this and videos about them are superfluous. We don't need videos reviewing things you don't need. We need videos showing people how to use the tools that the game provides to do that instead but that doesn't shill products.
This rancid commercial sector of leeches can't die fast enough.
