I think it depends on the professor too. I (a brown female) got a flattering recommendation saying I am one of the best students he advised, each time I asked my professor (a white male), whenever I could see the letter he submitted that is.
Of course. I have had many supportive mentors who have written strong recommendation letters for me to get here. This one sticks out as an outlier but it still stung.

Comparing the environments I was in with and without recommendation letters, I see zero added value of using, let alone requiring, such letters.

I agree
@requiring. Using is necessary as many places ask for them. They are needed even in several post PhD positions. It is not something one person or a small group can change, in my opinion.
