90 degree track guide. This is a removable guide that attaches to the track in order to quickly cut 90 degree cuts. There are quite a few available ranging from Festool to no name brads on the usual sites, search '90 degree track saw guide'.
This makes it very easy to quickly make a squared cut. I bought one with the Makita plunge saw set when I got it a few months ago and it has become just as necessary as the guides at this point for squared cuts.
If you are breaking down 4x8 sheets, a 4x8 sheet of foam board insulation used as a sacrificial board. You can find these at most box stores. This makes it easy cut up a 4x8 sheet of wood on the floor or on a table since you can sink your blade through the material into the foam, keeping in mind correct blade depth: https://youtu.be/6fNOpI-YHYg. Example of what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/_f1fdsjU89U.
Pro tip, you can cut the foam board sheet up so you don't have to store/wrestle with a floppy 4x8 foam board: https://youtu.be/nGkDC9DfsB0.
Lastly, if you have access to a 3D printer there are several 3D printed accessories you can print. Including vacuum hose deflector. I also printed a cover for the open part where you can access the bolt to remove the blade in order to cut down on dust. This is the Makita version, there will likely be one for the Milwaukee too if there isn't already: https://www.thingiverse
I definitely could see this being a great tool for a professional carpenter/contractor. Donny DIYer, on the other hand, who would need/use this type of tool maybe once every five years (at that). I'm not so sure it's worth that kind of coin. Most are probably better off just getting a Kreg track for circular saws.

I make money doing side work with tools and my new Milwaukee track saw was delivered today (using a 15% off deal a few days ago, not as good as this).
I won't use this every week, but when I do, it will save me tons of time, make cleaner/straighter cuts and have better end results faster.
I've got the M18 7-1/4" and M18 6-1/2" circ saws too. This is not for the same exact purposes.

This is a tool where if you don't have one, you can find every reason to never own one. If you have one, you can find every reason to need one. If you're going to be breaking down a lot of plywood for cabinets and other projects, it's must have IMO. I bought it to trim doors in my house. I originally used a circular saw and straight edge but the results weren't ideal. Popped my Makita XGT on the doors and they are amazing. Table Saw will work, but it's not fun and not the safest option.

Haha don't thumbs down me I'm the guy with the long winded help post up above. I was unable to edit it at first and made the corrections in this post.
I do have two of the Dewalt corded track saws with tracks and accessories.
If you don't have a track saw or never used one, you don't know what you are missing.
A straight edge and a circular saw are a 1 out of 10 compared to a track saw. The track saw will get you closer to the 10. The cut quality and accuracy are near perfect. The track saw also gives you the ability to cut fractions off of boards and door slabs without tear-out.
The lack of tear-out is probably the best selling point.
I have almost every tool known to man-kind for a woodworking shop and the track saw is ranked as one of the most valuable when needed. You probably won't use it every day or need to use it every day, but when it has been used and needed for a particular cut, it has always proven its worth.
