 Each has a use.  One makes something like clumps of tough sawdust, the other makes a good burger.

I have never found a tasty use for extremely lean ground beef.  IME it always needs added fat and for some reason costs more.  It simply doesn't taste good when it comes to burgers or (in this case) tacos.  I would not waste money on Wagyu ground beef to make tacos.  Or hamburgers.
