My point has never changed - 99.8% of my photos will never need it, but the remaining 0.02% will benefit. Here's an example of a single shot capture that would benefit. It was shot on my 5d3. It's messy in the shadows. The 5d4 wouldn't suffer from the same problem.
Hy Phil, what about the missing 0.18% rest of your shots?
Concerning your pic: great shot! But shadows are pushed much to strong. There is no way, that the human eye is able to catch this kind of range in one visual moment, imo. Your shot does not give me any feeling of looking "right". And this does not come from "messy 5D III shadows" but just from overdone shadow recoverment.
Maybe it is just my underdeveloped brain that lets me feel a shadow push more than 1.5 to 2 stops as unrealistic.

Haha it's Sunday! Let me enjoy my lack of maths
Maybe it is. To me there's no issue with it. It doesn't have the very fake HDR look to it which people seem to dislike though.
But hey ... we don't all have to like the same thing! That's fine too.
