Or is there something else going on?

I was like you, which is why I decided to try it. I already had most of the bits on hand and it was an easy evening’s work.
The effect is pretty subtle. The wheels are just rocking back and forth a few degrees, for the most part. The only time I feel a substantial difference is standing, which always felt a tad sketchy on stationary rollers.
So I wouldn’t call it a must-do game changer, but it does feel like incremental improvement. Ymmv.
