Dunno, I seem to recall that the problem with the Gibson tuners was the weight, the cost and that they were a special item that not a lot of folks wanted, but Gibson was pushing them nonetheless.
Still think this might be good for fast tuning or changing to alternate tunings quickly, although it would eliminate the need for witty repartee between songs during extended retuning. 😸
And as Ray, the OP (& I) point out, good for those with joint issues. As for "used to better things," I always tweak tunings, even if I'm using a strobe tuner.
