Are Archicad 28 new features worth it?

I just received a promotional email for Archicad 28. I have been too busy paying attention to what AC 28 might offer us this year. The promotional says:

+

NEW lifecycle assessment tools for sustainable decision-making

+

Improved Rhino-Grasshopper connection for faster parametric design 

+

Enhanced Point Cloud support for precise representation of as-built conditions

+

NEW cloud-based AI Visualizer for faster design iterations*

 

I assume the promotional message discusses this version's best and most potent features. However, none of these features interest me, and I have zero use for these four things. There must be more.  What else is there for the daily user that will improve our lives?

 

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based

The new feature of 28 which is considered the main update is the keynotes.

There are some improvements in simple tasks but the question of updating or not 

is also related to whether you decide not to go on subscription in the future and stay with 

latest payed perpetual version.
