Oh, yeah. I get it.

I used to have a clamp-on attachment, but I bought a cheap clamp-on
meter from HF and sold the attachment for a dollar at a hamfest.
STill haven't used that either. But I probably will if I live long
enough.

I use ammeter, now and again while working on equipment.
Can be very useful information.
