They're not the least useful C++20 addition, in fact they're amongst the most useful ones.

In particular the addition of the "requires" expression is the real killer here.

Removing even more enable_if and making template code even easier to read (you could do some of that with if constexpr + static_assert in C++17, but there were gotchas). Oh and it allows you to check for the presence of members in classes, which you couldn't do before.
