On my commuter bike I have 21 gears and use them all, every day. I ride in a town with steep hills and use tracks through the park for shortcuts and carry my shopping uphill.
If I lived in a less hilly town I would probably use a 7speed hub gear or a 1x8or9.

For flatland riders, on or off-road, 3x9 is just overkill.
