For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

Are people just too lazy to chop garlic?
Pressed garlic has a much more intense flavor. For a stew or most cooked stuff I would squash and chop it, for sauces or garlic oil I prefer pressed.
It’s also much faster as you don’t have to peel it and if you wash the press right away it’s just as fast as washing a knife.
Sometimes you want it pressed rather than chopped
Pestle and mortar? Smash it with a spoon?
Knife works better, since it’s a flat surface. A spoon would push it to the side instead of crushing evenly. Mortar and pestle is overkill unless you’ve got a lot of garlic to press.
