There are degrees of keeping the camera steady. I would assume that they would help steady the camera beyond just straight handholding and would probably allow for performance better than the rule-of-thumb would indicate, at least for those users who have learned to use the devices effectively. In practice I don't see them used a lot, so I would infer that most photographers who try these devices don't find them effective enough to be worth the trouble of attaching them.
