Which is too bad, because including flowers in your garden (even if it’s in the form of bolted plants) helps attract critters that will pollinate your “productive” plants as well as those that will help protect them from pest infestations. A balanced ecosystem lifts all boats, to mix my metaphors.

I refer more to growing flowers for sale. Most people I know who garden use flowers in the way you described.
I do however have one extremely “dudebro” guy friend who literally grew almost nothing but flowers, specifically to sell them to a florist :P
