I almost bought one but ok. Wood and stapler. I'll write that down.
"this should give more pressure on a cross hatch area of the sandpaper given the same pressure by the user, leading to quicker material removal. Unfortunately, the molding process left a lot of flash around the holes. That causes a lot of lumps under the sandpaper, leading to very uneven sanding."

Both waste a decent amount of sandpaper.
This is closer to what you really want: https://a.co/d/6kLCeDV

You may like to have 3-4 of these loaded with your favorite grits (120, 180, 220 is what I have here, but I'm a corner-cutting amateur woodworker). When you clog up or wear out a sheet too far, you reload it for around $0.25 worth of a sheet of fresh paper and keep going.
No a $1.25 foam sanding block with 2 grits on it does not replace this. A wood block and staples can be good, especially if you cut a custom bevel or edge for a specific sanding job, but it's not as easy to reload & keep fresh as these.
Yes there is some waste (maybe 30% of each sheet) but personally I tear off those unused parts (they are around 2" x 3" or so) and keep them for hand/finger sanding hard to reach areas.
I have quite a lot of hours logged with these kinds of blocks, with a lot of success... though I'm a bit intrigued about what the holes might do if implemented on a quality block, maybe I have not been using the very best available.
Happy to answer any more questions about these super advanced tools 😁
