You do need it.

If your anything like me you end up with 200 terminal windows open on your desktop.

With a Terminal multiplexer you can attach to named sessions from any terminal open and get the correct context for long running things you care about

200?! I can pretty confidently say approximately nobody is anything like you 😄

for nop in $(seq 1 200); do
    open -a Terminal --new &
    sleep 0.1
done
