Do you use Oort Amalgam to keep your portals open longer?

I’m just curious. This isn’t an argument about how useful the stuff is, but more just a gauge to see how often amalgam is used.
It’s often said that the only people who benefit from Oort amalgam are people who are taking a break and/or only have a few small portals, so i’m curious how many people, who fit that description, use it.
Im sure the devs already know the real statistics. Can’t say im surprised with the poll results either. I think everyone except one or two people have said it should be changed to be more cost efficient
I wish I could use them, but last time I checked, you lose oortshards in the conversion process.
It’s not made for players like me who only own 1x2 portals.
I guess it’s good for the BIG portals of mega-hubs like Ultima City on Eresho.
I’d be curious to know if they use them.
It’s funny, every argument ive seen that says to leave it as is is because its useful “for people who only own a few smaller portals”.
Speaking from experience in PS, larger portal hubs definitely can’t afford to use them, because it represents over 4* the cost to upkeep, based on this math:
At that point it just isn’t worthwhile, and even at 1:1 converstion I doubt this would change for large portal hubs.
