We use it a lot when we have a solution that works for 95% of customers and a few need random things.

Else we will have multiple markets changing the same function with a thousand if else

Main issue is that makes it so that some functions are never generalized, like when customer A wanted to use an equal filter, customer B wanted a IN filter, and the rest have no filtering capability at all.
