b) If you play(ed) chess online then would you be happy if your opponent just used a chess engine to decide on all their moves? Even when they move the pieces themselves it's still cheating...
c) If you play(ed) limit holdem HU, then would you be happy to play against a player using a pseudo-optimal bot against you? How about if they pressed the buttons themselves?
If you want SNGs to stay profitable for the long term then you would be much better off lobbying sites to ban the use of these type of advisor apps... It's ridiculous that players have had their accounts closed for "botting" when it comes to using pseudo-optimal HU limits bots, yet at the same time the same sites allow basically the same thing for SNGs!

d) Is it worth it to get the game theory based ranges?
NE is fine for HU play, but since the multiplayer game allow opponents to make "spite calls" against you (ie: give up some of their own EV to cost you much more) and since the NE solution assumes that all opponents are "rationally trying to maximize their own EV", you'll find the NE pushes and calls are way too loose against the average donk.
