How do you know?

Did you talk with GM's.

I suspect that finding different lines and greater depth may be very important
for GM's.

I read analysis of GM's and I know that there are GM's who calculate a lot of
lines in games.

I suspect that extra time mainly provides better "debugging" only for relatively
weak humans who cannot imagine clearly the positions in the end of their search.
