So is it only useful for people who silently read? Because I don't see any use case if so, it is not like we think using words, lol.
Many people do think using words through their inner monologue.
I'm kind of in this boat with you. My "normal" thinking is very fluid, like a river, and it takes effort to "fish" a clearly-defined thought or line of thinking out of the milieu. I've got a lot of practice with it, but it still takes noticeable time to articulate myself. And sometimes I find it's not a fish, but an eel. A really long one, with all kinds of fins and greebles to note as it emerges from the water; that's when I start to ramble.
Thinking in words only comes when I have to talk or write, the rest of the time it's images, concepts, sensations, maybe flashes of a word or sentence fragments here and there. If I'm alone and thinking about one topic, I talk to myself to help stay on track.
But I also wouldn't generalise with "we". You might know multiple people who share this, but I don't think it's everyone.
