I've adjusted mine twice in the last month alone because I needed to fold down the rear seats. But also sometimes you borrow your car to someone who doesn't have a memory setting. Or your car doesn't have memory seats and has multiple users.

The proper mirror position for driving on the freeway is maladjusted for parallel parking, and vice versa. Doing both in a single trip requires an adjustment.

I don't even want to do that shit on a touchscreen when I'm stopped dude, it should take less than 5 seconds so I can get moving.
