I like it because free for all never worked for me and I experienced the worst of it trying to get a gpu during the crypto craze and everyone using bots and alerts to try to snipe something that would go out of stock in seconds.
EVGA game in clutch and did queue system and I got my card for msrp. And I liked it when Valve did it for the Steam Deck.
Hated when Steam Controller did a free for all and ended up wasting couple of hours clicking and coming up empty handed. They went to queue and I finally got one after a few months.
I'd rather wait and if it takes a year or longer so be it, but a free for all approach is one I know I'll have zero chance at compared to the lotto.
