LinQ/LWT/LUTE. What is the benefit of these apps?

If you’re familiar with LinQ or LWT/learning with text or LUTE (a version of LWT) you’ll know it’s a app that lets you read and mark words individually as known or not known.

Can someone explain to me the benefit of this? If I am reading a document and come across a word I don’t know, I don’t need colors to tell me that. It just seems like a bunch of time wasted clicking and coloring words when I could just be doing the reading. What is the point?

This is not a troll post. I want to understand the point because everyone seems to love these and I want to benefit from them. Please help me understand
