I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

I never get the need to use a mechanical pencil and graphite pencils exists
I’ll level with you: I’m kind of a moron.
If my command line text editor has its own bespoke integrated command line, then science has gone too far and we need to stop lmao
It's cool. We'll just write a lua plugin to extend science so that we can go too far enough.
Yet many people prefer mechanical pencils. Are you against choice? What is there to get or "need"?
"Relative"? 🤨
Fair enough! I'm an English second language speaker too, I understand the struggle!
But to answer about relevance: to me, text editors are just tools. I don't really care which one you use, as long as you do the job well. I use vim (or honestly, mostly vim bindings) everywhere I can as they're just second nature to me at this point, and I go around text much quicker when thinking in text objects than the typical Ctrl+Alt+... and home/end/pg up/pg down shortcuts. I could just as well work with Notepad++, it's just gonna slow me down.
So in that sense, it's just like a pencil. Some have preferences as to which pencils they like to write with. I like fountain pens and mechanical pencils. You seem to prefer graphite pencils, and guess you probably prefer ball pens ;)
