Workspace contact list - listed in the user interface (UI)?

Hi there!, I read around workspace contact list (which is different from contact for reports and dashboards) but still not clear how/who uses it in real life. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-...

    Here is how I use the workspace contact list. 

    Let's say someone has shared an app with me. Apps are tied to a workspace, and when I get the app, I also get the workspace. 

    I open the app and something doesn't work as i expected -- maybe I can't export data from visuals, or Q&A isn't showing up on my dashboard, or my changes to filters aren't persisting, or the data isn't refreshing.   In the past, it was almost impossible to figure out whom to contact to address these issues.  Now I have 2 options -- I can select the link for the "Contact" from the breadcrumbs dropdown that appears at the top of the reports and dashboards. Or I can look up the workspace contacts and ask them to help me or change settings for me.  Some settings are managed by the Admin and others by the app owner/creator.
