So yes, that f 2.8 is going to allow you to keep shooting in slightly darker conditions if you are going to shoot wide open, that is undeniable, but it's not much of a difference really.

Maybe not for a hobbyist who diddles about in daylight.

If you're an indoor event shooter, having two stops more light can make the world of difference, bringing you from horrible high isos into a usable range.

Two stops is a massive difference to get from a lens. Particularly if you achieve it for only a few hundred.

Your perspective is completely off. Fast apertures are not just about stylistic subtleties for the bored hobbyists.
