I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious whether anyone uses it. Because almost every text editor supports it yet when I use it, it's just by accident and it messes up my document

Is this using a PC? Maybe I would.
If this is from a smartphone... I wouldn't I guess... I often prefer to retype than dealing with the select text feature... It seems I get the same experience in the most recent mobile OS that I had when I used my iPod Touch 4G a lot of years ago, why does it feel that this feature hasn't even evolved? I can't be the only one that feels it is terrible to use, I prefer to use the keyboard gestures than dealing with it.
