Are 'Swedish dishcloths' really eco-friendly or Zero Waste?

'Swedish dishcloths' are considered eco-friendly and zero waste, but I don't get why. They are mostly cellulose and only last a few months until they break. Why not just use a brush for washing the dishes and fabric cloths for other purposes? Growing up my parents used to buy a 3m roll of 'Swedish dishcloth' and we would cut a piece of it when needed. We needed to cut a new one at least every few weeks. Last months I have had to use them several times and I dislike them even more since you can't really use them to scrub stains or wipe dust.
