The Shimano SG ring I snapped was very light and flimsy and tbh I was worried that my Thigh Bazookas of Doom would make short work of it from the moment I put it on. Of course there are much stronger and better made 3/32 rings than that pissant thing, but the confidence that a 1/8 drivetrain brings is nice, and even if that's purely psychological it's still nothing to scoff at.

1/8 drivetrains are just as quiet as 3/32 with a good chainline too btw.
