In isolation yes.
But LFDs need to be considered within the scope of limited (and decreasing) PCR test capacity:-

Test return times are getting longer in England (test and trace report & comparing specimen to report dates).
A lot of testing capacity was closed in the spring in the expectation cases would never get that high again. They will (as govt admits!) - what's the plan? No testing?

If we had proper PCR capacity to provide swift turnarounds (overnight ideally) then we wouldn't need to rely on LFDs to botch a countrywide testing strategy.
