It kind of makes sense. The computer prevents you from moving pieces you shouldn't and prevents illegal moves. The computer switches the timer as soon as you move. The computer allows you to draw visual arrows on the board. The computer allows you to "premove", enter your next planned move before your opponent moves. You can't mistakenly tip over chess pieces. You never risk bumping arms with your opponent. Playing on the computer is just overall more enjoyable, especially for bullet chess.
This is also a different game from the game where Hans was accused of cheating.
