Most people in general can get away with much more heavy loading pc stuff then they think, yet still resort to ghrs to save the back/brain.

Do they have a place? Sure. If you putting heavy (to you) weights in your hands, on your back/shoulders/overhead etc constantly through the week, they are a great tool. If you are doing a bunch of wimply lowerbody work, you probally dont need to focus on your hamstrings specifically all that much. /rant
i think they are better used for beginners than experienced people.

but i pretty much agree with what you said. People can get good results doing sldls or other hard, hamstring movements.
