I understand for a business, but for a home cook, what door does this really open?
If you don't already have a kitchen scale, it seems kinda neat. A very niche, but convenient means of weighing precise ingredients and dispensing them evenly. Many baking recipes require specific weights rather than measurements like cups/spoons. As I heard it said, "cooking is an art, baking is a science." They're both science, but baking is less flexible.

Totally understand but I didn't think the point was the scale but the sifter. Remove the scale element (plenty of better out there) and what do you use it for as a home chef? How often do we sift things that aren't already done that way from the factory/producer? Maybe hard core break baker's?

I am an avid home baker and have considered purchasing this multiple times. I have both a scale and sifter, but have considered this because it can be really annoying to have to weigh out and sift into a separate bowl and then transfer into a stand mixer. Transferring large volumes of sifted powdered sugar, for example, makes it more prone to reclumping and can wreck your frosting or baked good. This would make that process much easier and faster.

not at all for business, for that you will have commercial stuff. Its more "convenience" of skipping a step pouring in the scale then in the sifter, plus pouring on the side of the bowl while mixing is usually a mess for me, this will drop your ingredients directly in the bowl.
