If you're getting close to your NDLs before you start running low on air, then you might benefit from Nitrox to extend your bottom time or stay deeper longer without hitting your NDLs. Or if you're doing multiple dives per day (i.e., greater than two), and you want to extend your bottom time on later dives without hitting your NDL.
If not, then you might not benefit from getting a Nitrox fill. However, the knowledge of partial pressures and such that you get from a Nitrox class is useful, even for beginners. Some beginners have great air consumption and could benefit. And other beginners are extremely passionate about diving and want to dive more than a couple times a day (Nitrox would be beneficial then).
So it's extremely flawed to say that Nitrox is useless for beginners or anyone else. I'd be surprised if you had Nitrox training, as your comments reflect a lack of education about the uses and benefits of Nitrox. It's very arrogant to make such blanket assertions.
