I disagree.

I'll expand. You don't always have a patsy to follow (1/2 mile behind) and you can pick up that hidden cop with your radar detector. Only, what 15 to 25 %, are using instant on, if that many. I just drove from Bingo to NC (10 hours) and the detector warned me of a hidden cop four times. I was in traffic so not really at risk but only going 10 over. Many areas are 70 mph in Penn and Virginia and NC, so 80 was common.

The best thing about the commend "radar detectors are so 80s" is that the thieves appear to have stopped smashing windows to steal the darn things.

I don't like driving without one. It's like not having your carry with you that one time you need it. Rare save but you'll be sorry you left it home. (either)
