I don't think women realize how much professional and personal trouble women have been to most men's lives.
My first ship, 30 people in my department over the first 3 years
Every guy had an allegation against them, 4 separate incidents and only 1 was even close to meritorious... She didn't want to hear about a co workers sexual exploits during sea watches, that's fair.
10 accusations because a different girl got drunk and cried, felt embarrassed and accused them if harassment. Then tried charging them again for never hanging out with her outside of work (go figure)

Even for small projects and small amounts they are useful. It's not about a weapon to sue if they reneg it's about expectations and timelines.
Even if you trust the artist or client, contract. Write it down. Often an email is sufficient.
Have you had a client ghost before paying? An artist disappear with no feedback while deadlines are coming?
Contracts can set milestones. Send me comps (comprehensive) by x date, final proofs by y date, and if I need changes give them to you by z date for a final date
