What Do You Think of the LG G5’s Modularity? Thoughtful Addition, or Gimmick?

The LG G5 now allows you to detach the bottom chin of the otherwise-unibody design in order to remove the battery and also expand the phone’s functionality through its “friends”… little hardware modules that can add camera controls, better sound through a special DAC, a bigger battery and more. The feature also allows LG to create even more modules later on, expanding the functionality and perhaps the lifespan of the device.

But would you use the modules? Is this an actually-good selling point?
