[The Good Place] What's the point of Janet?

When the main characters actually get to the real Good Place, it turns out that the people there are actually miserable because everything they want instantly appears and that takes all the joy out of everything.

None of them are ever seen asking a Janet for anything. Whatever they want just appears.

So why does Janet even exist? If you have a system where people can just think of something they want and they immediately get it, why would you need to create a sentient version of Siri with the power to summon things? It just seems redundant.

Even after Eleanor and the gang manage to fix The Good Place by implementing the new door that ends your existence, they don't seem to need Janet for anything, other than just being her friend. It's not like she serves a real function because they already have access to everything they could want without asking her for help.

The denizens of the Good Place definitely ask the Janet for something at one point but the whole point is that they are so bored of getting whatever they want whenever they want that they rarely do anymore.
