Do you LIKE hacksawing large quantities of steel (or whatever)?
If the answer is NO, then yes buy one, if it meets your needs.

Most of this discussion centers around the assumption of people wanting to walk away from the saw while it is working
And partly making it cut faster.
Another element is that the original motor that comes with them are usually utter crap.
My saw had the original motor, when I got it (used), and worked well for years, but got HOT when cutting for extended periods.
And I mean ¡°too hot to touch¡± hot.
Eventually it gave up the ghost.
The replacement motor (UL listed, but used) barely gets warm under the same sort of usage.
OTOH, I am still pretty much right there while it is cutting.
