I have used Registered once when sending a small handful of 100s to a fellow member but that could have been delivered faster in a covered wagon with old horses.

I send in a small flat rate box with zero insurance. I'm on your side Ben.
I've always thought the insurance label read "Take me".
You would have to open a lot of nondescript small flat rate boxes to hit the jackpot. Better odds in Vegas.
Not to mention the difficulty in collecting a USPS claim.
I would add that for the really valuable parcels, it's Registered Mail Period
