What do people think about Windows 11 activators?

A few years ago, when I was helping a friend reinstall Windows, we ran into an activation problem, and the internet was full of various activators. Back then, it seemed like a quick solution, but the feeling that something was off never really went away. Recently, I came across discussions on this topic again, and it made me wonder how do others feel about such tools? Is it even worth using them, or is it better to rely on official methods only?
