Why is it worth the effort?

If your company uses gmail, or any other single sign on, its a really good tool for separating work/home digital life.

multiple accounts for the same site

Facebook/instagram/reddit/youtube is really hard to have separate non-linked logins. Plus its a massive faff logging in and out. assigning accounts to tabs saves time.

keeping your youtube recommendations clear

Youtube's recommendation algorithm looks at all you are playing and figures out what you should watch next. If you see something music based, then it will hard pivot your recommendations to music. If you have something populist, then expect a fucktonne of clickbait.

Have a "clean" and "dirty" profile really improves the quality of the videos I get shown.
