So in other words, I just wondered if this is an outdated pointless concept, or worth a punt? That said though, its not like I cook from scratch every day, so I just wondered if it was a thing people normally bother to do or not.
It depends on the recipe. If the recipe calls of herbs and spices, I use herbs and spices. I mainly cook thai and indian food, so need a very wide range of spices to make that as authentically as I can.

I've never heard of anyone thinking herbs and spices are outdated?

Americans seem to use the word "spicy" to mean "hot". Whereas obviously there are a massive range of spices that have no heat at all. So maybe some confusion there...
