Is paint protection film actually worth it here or just an upsell?

Picked up a new car last month and the dealer immediately started pushing paint protection film, quoting some eye watering number. My instinct was that it's just another add on they make commission on, so I said no and walked away. But now I'm second guessing myself because I've already noticed a couple of tiny chips on the front bumper from highway driving, and the sun here is relentless. A friend swears by PPF and said I should read up on paint protection film benefits explained properly before dismissing it, since apparently it's not just about stone chips. I'm trying to work out if it's genuinely useful in this climate or if I'm being paranoid. Anyone had it done and noticed a real difference after a few years?
