Imagine you need to use a SketchUp model in your Blender work, or to generate a SketchUp file directly from inside Blender.

The two professional plugins from SimLab make it easy for users to create bidirectional communication between the two applications to build amazing workflows.

Export SKP models directly from Blender
Import SKP models to Blender

Blender file support is not uniform, some files are supported well, others are not.
When providing those importers, we understand some users will still prefer multiple file conversions or will have no problem with other methods.
But based on our experience some users will appreciate convenient, tested plugins, with a support they can talk to.

If we did not see legit need from some users, we would not develop the plugins, and I understand your point 100%
