Other than for general curiosity, I agree...
OTOH, a question I can see having _some_ value would be to ask
someone, "What is it _about_ the brand you use that you like."

PS: Similarly, when deciding whether to go see a movie, it helps to
know what the friends advising me did or didn't like, not just how
much they liked or disliked it. More than once I've gone to see a
movie, or bought a book, because the reasons a friend gave for not
liking it told me it was something I _would_ like.
