I understand
why its designers felt that this would provide better guarantees (it
is not a good idea to mutate branch names that are checked out
somewhere else), but checking out various branches to test them and
inspect their code (before returning to the feature branch I am
actively working on) is a common part of my workflow.

I agree, that’s a great use of worktrees.  But I never feel like I have
to checkout the branch itself.  I detach on top of the branch.

Yes.  For sightseeing, not building on top of various random points
in history, detached HEAD is a reasonable way to use multiple
worktrees.
