This is kind of like saying a compressed file is not useful because it requires being decompressed.

Stating something so simple doesn't cause people to have a revelation though. It means nothing unless it's explained, and that explanation should replace its use.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, your argument reduces to an argument against abstraction.
Why write
1 + 1 = 2 when we could explain arithmetic every time instead?Are we disagreeing or misunderstanding each other?
