to grip or not to grip

I keep trying to use vertical grips, but every time I keep reverting to just taking it off. I tried the magpul MVG, and hated it so much. I was using a seekins sp3rv3 rail on a long gun at the time. the flat bottom on those rails is amazing and makes it super easy to lay over shit to stabilize the gun, unfortunately they dont make shorter versions so when I got my 11.5 I just use a mcmr, and tried the bcm 89 degree gunfighter thing, and its great for controling recoil and comfy to access my tapeswitch for my light/laser, but when it comes to actually taking accurate shots i find it hard to balance the gun for longer shots. when I am shooting [redacted] the gun gets really hot and I grip my whole hand on the vertical girp, but if I just wear a glove i dont even need it.

Why are vertical grips so popular despite not really adding much utility? there has to be something im missing, right? are these just a fad that wont die?

my current setup is similar to picrel, but I have a bcm on it and might take it off
