I agree for the most part. But they're good for folks that had 17 round mags before the ban and don't want to use them up at the range or for those of us that legally can still get 17 round mags but it's just easier to order 15's online for training rather than paying a premium at a gun store or having to provide credentials to one of the sites that didn't just say "screw all ban states".
We give out practice ammo at my agency. So when you show up to qual, you get 250 rounds. You qual with your primary pistol two times (50 rounds per qual), and back up gets shot for one qual, and you get 50 rounds per gun as “practice ammo” to shoot on your own. If we run extra drills for the quarter, we give extra ammo to cover it.
Sooo, each agent typically gets about 1000 rounds per year. And if they save up the practice ammo, they have quite a stash of ammo. And then you see NYC. Where letting 4 extra rounds leave the range would cause the City to implode. WTF is up with that mentality of not trusting your people? If you trust them with the gun and bullets, you can trust them with extra bullets.

“A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.” - Shane

My hands sweat a lot. Gloves irritate the hell out of me and make my hands colder because they're wet. There's one parking garage downtown that I occasionally have to work at that looks like the set of a zombie movie. I wear gloves there because it's so nasty I want to bathe in Draino at the end of my shift and I don't want to touch anything.
