I have worked with many people who want to implement ARRAYFORMULA into their work so that automatic calculation can be applied whenever there’s a new row.

If the person wants to have a quick solution for their problem then QUERY can be used, before we can think of a solution in Glide editor. That’s the first cause for this. Secondly, I believe this would help people in their normal work as well.
