@Expensify/design do we care that this is broken? Is anyone using it?

Yes, I use Storybook frequently and I encourage you to try it out as well. Here are some reasons I like using storybook:

1. I find it to be a very useful tool to develop reusable components without getting too caught up in testing business logic.
2. We have lots of components that are really tied up with business logic, and Storybook can help us untangle that. If you can't create stories for a component, then you should consider generalizing your component or, if that's not possible, moving it to src/pages.
3. We're also hopeful that it will be helpful to new contributors (finding the UI elements that we have available so that they can more easily piece them together).
4. This isn't something we've started taking advantage of yet, but Storybook has lots of tools that can help with Accessibility testing.

In summary, Storybook is meant to be a bridge between the design world and the code where we can create a cohesive set of UI elements that we use in our app.
