Insider Program feels a bit pointless now

I've been an Insider for years, going back to Windows 10 and I think the early days of the program, but the last few years it has felt pretty pointless because I am never getting anything rolled out to me until after it goes live.

I used to have two of my PCs on insider builds, but after I had to reinstall on the one PC due to a hardware failure, I left that PC on Live, and it got the updated Start Menu months before my Canary build did.

I know I could force it with the Vive tool, but I don't really want to have to do that just to preview, test, and give feedback on new features, it seems to me that was supposed to be the point of the program.

I get phased rollouts are important and need to be tested as well, but it feels like the rollout period is just way too long.
