For sure they take some of hte hunting out of hunting but they are also as much of the hunt as the sit itself. They promote deer management for sure since if you know a bigger badder buck is out there you tend to let younger ones walk. it extends the deer season for hunter and it helpd to get in the filed and scout pre, post and during hte season. They don't give any advantage to the kill itself because they only point out a deer that was and could step out at any moment, they don't attract the deer they just report their activities.
