Faster mates are cool and fun but are they humanly useful?

I get 12 faster mate inaccuracies in a game where I found a forced mate in 5 by queening a pawn but missed a mate in 4. It's really cool to see the genius of what I could have done but frankly the pawn advance was dumber but faster if my old slow brain had to coordinate bishop and knight with a rook instead!! Do you find the feature instructional for human play? For sure not mates in 7 at move 19 but seems like a missed mate in 4 that ends the game 15 plies faster should be something worth studying?

I find the listings of missed mates in 1 more interesting.
