All this does is show your site in a viewport scaled to those devices' default screen sizes though, right? Handy for quickly making sure your responsive scaling is set up properly to handle all those resolutions. But since it's not actually showing the rendering output from the listed devices, its usefulness is a bit limited, I suspect. Whereas BrowserStack and similar services actually do render and test your site or app on hundreds of real, physical devices, and different browsers/browser versions on said devices, which is why so many companies pay for their service.
Feels kind of ironic that it doesn't even try to work on mobile
What is the advantage of this over something like Firefox/Chromium dev console?

No that's roght, you can only do one at a time so that is indeed an improvement. Thanks!

Now this is a useful site for me. Thank you.
