I honestly think it's more of a gimmick than anything because no two identical printers will run exactly the same and there's no way for it to accurately account for filament issues like poor quality plastic or moisture content. I can't see it being any more accurate than basic guidance or real general things to watch out for like printing overhangs without supports.

This. My print properties change with ambient humidity, temperature, and with how long ago I last dried my filament.
