I had to watch the video, and really like this idea. Like you pointed out, it's not for cutting fabric into 2.5" strips, it's for cutting 2.5" strips into smaller pieces.
For me, most of the time I'm sewing teh 2.5" strips together and then cutting them cross wise.
They say it will cut diamonds, but did not show that. I think it needs another insert (the red part) that has the matching angle as the 45 deg end, so you could work your way down the strip and get even cuts (parallelograms).
For me, the best part is getting uniform lengths without having to be so careful I've got the ruler lined up correctly.
