People always conflate blockchain with something worthwhile.

Yes, XRP sucks, it's vulnerable and doesn't solve any issues with money or payments. There are many other methods of spending money out there that don't suffer XRP's shortcomings.

For example Verified by Visa transactions can be settled in 4 seconds.

If you are looking for profilers to analyze your code for inefficiencies, then you have a different definition of profiler than I believe most high lever users do. Profilers are there to make a representation of where time/cycles are spent in code. It is up to the author to analyze and act upon such information. And profiling is extremely useful provided you understand the code and infrastructure. You are correct in one way though, it useless for optimization provided you don't know the very basics of programming.
