0.5 seconds can easily be the difference between first place and last place. So saying "it depends" and "makes zero sense" sounds more like a rationalization for you personally rather than understanding how this controller can help others who are willing to put their money where their mouth is.

Zero beef. And yes for racing even a marginal difference in pace can make a difference. But unless somebody is really schooled in suspension set up and tuning, the results will indeed "depend" and may actually be worse. Not even pro NASCAR crew chiefs with multi mil budgets always get it right, eh?
So yes, it very much "depends" IMO especially if tuning is required based on application, track, tires etc.
EDIT: it will also depend if a driver is skilled enough to push the car enough to actually see any pace difference. Hence my previous suggestion to spend $ on fresher tires and seat time as a guaranteed way of gaining pace. Vs complex tech which requires complex knowledge to yield benefits. That's all.
EDIT2: actually I should add this: not a beef per se, but a concern based on what happened to a forum member's car (you're aware of the thread).
