Stone cutter is a bit useless

The stonecutter doesn't give enough of a reason to be used. Yes, it makes crafting stone blocks easier but it should also make crafting these blocks less expensive. As of now, the ratios are all nearly all the same no matter where you craft it. Walls, smooth blocks, stone brick, chiseled quartz, pillar quartz, and more all have a 1 to 1 crafting ratio on the crafting table and stonecutter. Slabs have a 1 to 2 crafting ratio one both crafting blocks. The only stone blocks where its worth to use the stonecutter is stairs and chiseled stone brick. Because you get 3 to 2 for stairs and 4 to 3 for chiseled stone brick on the crafting table vs a 1 to 1 for both blocks on the cutter. My only request is to make the stone cutter more useful by making it not only a time saver but also a resource saver.

    I believe the stonecutter was introduced in 1.14 not only because it's a requirement for villager stone masons, but also because it allows people who played on the Bedrock edition to be more familiar with the user interface.  Similar to how the Java people can simply memorize each crafting recipe in a 3x3 grid.

    I know I'm very late to this thread but I don't think it's useless. The stonemason is very good for farming ems and a stone cutter is a very fitting tool for a  mason to have. Plus, even though you can craft all of the things that stone cutters can cut stone into, stone cutters are at least semi-useful since they let you save materials. Idk about anyone else but it is pretty annoying when your one block short of being able to craft stairs so you just have 5 random blocks and you don't know what t do with them. and it can also be helpful for beginner s to mc as well.
