Sure it can be a useful tool. The difference between us is that if I
need to use it I have no one to blame but myself, if you have to use it
you can blame your camera.

Nothing of the sort. You're beating a dead horse.

So tell me this how long does it take you to blur the background on a
portrait?

Depends on the quality of the image and how good it is, but usually less
than an hour, including whatever other manipulations I might make.
