The powerful instruments typically have a narrow field of view. With
hundreds of amateurs, all over the world, you can cover large areas of
the sky around the clock. There is no way to get that coverage
otherwise. When something interesting is observed you "bring in the big
guns" to do the detailed science observations.

Yes this is one of the few ways that a visual observer can contribute

to the visual observer's usefulness like it would to a meteor observer.
