Some people build their own, some don't know or care about them, but:
They are a helpful way for search engines to crawl your website in a more productive way and thus get the data into almost all their databases. It helps with SEO and traffic generated by a search.
Having over 30 websites that I have to keep up and more being built right now, it helps to have something pretty automatic that also works real well.
I found this in Google and it is here: https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ Just type in the URL to your site and they will generate a complete sitemap in a minute or two as html, xml and a bout 3 more.
They also have a paid version that runs about 50.00 a year if you have a high volume and high change site. I have one of those so I get a new set of files daily instead of opting for the automatic to the site system. It also gives me many more files. But, most sites don't need the paid for version and that is free.
I just can't justify the time it takes to write the sitemap.xml + others and then spend a bunch of time modifying them as things change.
NO, I don't get anything if you use it
For SEO: Use http://www.seocentro.com/tools/seo/seo-analyzer.html it is free and yes, I have made donations. All sites I build is checked here as they are built. Very helpful.
Please don't hesitate to add your own sites that help all.
