I get the point but it absolutely is “power user” type feature.
For example, on gearbox you may have a user that is only interested in borderlands and borderlands2, instead of forcing them to go through and “mute” all the categories of the other games they can simply tick some boxes and get a view of latest only containing those games.
It’s a less “committal” way of muting stuff from latest where you opt-in to the particular view you want.
