Its more of "why do I need an account to use this service".

My boss used Scribe to show a step-by-step process on how to use a new tool at work. It was just screenshots of the desktop and some text. A powerpoint presentation would have sufficed, with no* account needed. (Well, work uses the Microsoft suite, but Libre Office has no account needed)

well you don't need an account to view scribe documents, just create/edit them. it is a service, after all

I have limited experience with it. I think I understand its niche, and it isn't me. It's basically just for people who struggle to take screenshots and put text boxes next to them in powerpoint (which disappointingly is a lot of people).

we got it for our company to see if it would be worthwhile for each department to have an account and people could use it to make work instructions. I don't know how other departments are finding it, but it's not worth it for me vs the old way. The amount of editing I had to do in my one test scribe was enough that I could have just done it in powerpoint using snipping tool

I think where I see the most value in it is that it records what you're doing, so it's unlikely to miss a step, whereas when you do it yourself you might skip over a small step.
