Maybe some people are more likely to tweak their amp or pedals. If I'm playing and it's a bit bright I just use the tone control.
I'd implore people who don't use the tone control at all, even if they're never going to use it for minor adjustments, try turning it all the way off on a neck humbucker - it gives such a beautiful sound!
There but never used.
I use the tone control and pickups a fair bit when jamming with my looper pedal.
Sounds like a square wave oscillator on a synth to me.
Like in the other thread.
Bit hotter/brighter.
I actually abandoned a short cable and a no-load tone pot for the same reason; I'm not a fan of brightness in guitar tone and both of those make it brighter.

as has been said it will ever so minimally increased the signal of the pickup and to my ears boosting all the frequencies and gain not only top end
I think pretty much every Jazz guitarist, me included, uses a tone control on humbuckers to get that warm tone. Think Joe Pass (turns out he is actually God).
That said, if I play Fusion or Rock or Metal I never touch the Tone.
