Would you trade a 6-hour layover for 3 days in that city if it's cheaper?

I've been measuring this for a few months. Warsaw → Bangkok in November, one adult, one way: the cheapest through-fare is 1297 PLN (~€300). The same trip split into two separate tickets with a 2–8 day stop in Abu Dhabi: 305 + 788 = 1093 PLN. 16% cheaper, and you get Abu Dhabi instead of an airport chair.

Milan as the stop: −13%. Vienna: −9%. Doha: +32% (so it's not "always split").

I built a search that does this automatically: you name two countries, it finds the stop where the two-ticket sum beats the through-fare and shows you the days in between. Link: https://uwillfly.net/devto

What I actually want to know: is this a thing people would use, or does everyone just want the direct flight and be done? Would a 3-day stop be a feature or an annoyance for you?
