In all seriousness, most of the times that I used a japanese pull saw I was doing flooring and using it to undercut door jambs. Quite a few people (including myself) also prefer pull saws due to the fact that they are quite a bit easier to use vs a regular hand saw. These saws cut on the pull stroke vs the push stroke of a regular hand saw.
The japanese pull saws produce a thinner, cleaner cut compared to regular hand saws
Not sure on maintenance but I do know that to sharpen them requires a specialty tool
To anyone buying this, the blade is usually quite a bit sharper than regular hand saws. The blade is also quite thin
Is there any reason to believe that this Steelhead is any better than the $8 HF version (after coupon): https://www.harborfreig

(unless you are cutting Mr. Miyagi's Japanese maples).
They are thin kerf, very sharp, flexible saws that cut on the pull stroke. Cutting on the pull stroke tends to be more precise, as the thin blade pulls back in a straight cut line… as opposed to wider, Western-style saws that are thicker and cut on the push stroke wherein the blade bends and deflects.
They are well suited to flooring installations, cutting off shims, carpentry service work and precision joinery.

But how small is small? Lopers for a anything up to an inch easy. A standard manual pruning saw will go through green wood faster. Pruning recipe blades if you have a cordless recip saw and need to be one handed
