what is the Ant+ good for? does everyone remove it?

[oneformula]

it seems only there for connecting to bicycle devices...

There are a number of fitness-related devices that can connect with ANT+, heart rate monitors, for example.

I wish my Nexus 6P had native ANT+ support as there are times when my chest strap heart rate device (supports both Bluetooth and ANT+) and my Bluetooth earbuds conflict with each other.
