It‘s exchanging speed for complexity.
In most applications, speed is not a concern. If you‘re a writer, developer, etc. you‘ll spend much more time thinking about what to write than on writing itself. So the added writing speed does not give you any benefits as you have to transcribe later.
It only matters when you have to write down stuff other people say in realtime.
