Doesn’t do that for me. I have to hold left click on a link for over a second to trigger it.

I misunderstood the previous comments, actually, yeah, it's not triggered the way I assumed.

The use case is “give me the key bullet points of this article so I can decide if I should give it more attention.”, and it does that job pretty well.

I'll put aside all the other complaints I have on my mind, because we've both probably gone through similar discussions, I don't want to get bogged down in yet another, and just say that I honestly can't imagine this being such a useful or time-saving thing in the first place. Like, did it use to be a frequent problem to you to start reading an article, realise you're not interested, and give up on it?
