Gimmick? I see it as a tool to achieve the sound I want. Much like a pickup, an acoustic amp, and a good PA. An electronic tuner. Reverb. Chorus.
Singers have been using multi-tracks when recording for decades. I don't know that anyone sees that as a gimmick. A vocal harmonizer allows an individual to have harmonies when playing out. Just like some guitar players use pedals to get the sound they like.
Different perspectives.
