Don't quote me on this, but I heard they're good for getting good initial root growth (clones)

I asked about this a while back and Twohigh said that there is some data to indicate that the B1 molecule is too large to be directly taken up by root systems. Although most people still use it anyway. It also is likly to have other benifical effects on microbes, etc which in turn do help the plant. I use superthrive both in my rezz as well as as a foliar. Superthive has other benifical things besides b1 though, amino acids and growth hormones.
It would be funny but maybe the benefits are others like you said.
I used Plagron Roots that contains 7.2% humus acids, 3% kelp, 3% metabolide and 0.3% thiamine (=B1 vitamin) and Hesi TNT Complex that has B1, B2 and B3 vitamins. Hesi uses to put B vitamins into all its products.

I swear by superthrive in my cloner. I seem to get roots three to four days faster.

Thiamine,vitamin b-1 is a plant growth regulator.Used with rooting hormones (IBA,NAA or IAA) it will stimulate root growth.B-1 is produced in the foliage and transported to the root system.B vitamins are used in cell development.

B Vitamins helps the plant handle stress. Less stress, More Grow.
...there's more to it than what I said...

Im pretty sure the thought process AGAINST supplementing B vitamins, is they are useless if they are already present. Most nutrient formulas have plenty already, so you are basically adding water to the ocean.
If your lacking, B vitamins sure will help, but if your running PBP and Liquid Karma, you probably wont see benefits adding additional products like, Floralicious Plus, Floralicious Grow/Bloom, Thrive Alive, superthrive, etc. I would pick one (or two) kelp/humic/b-vitamin as a catch all product.
I use GH's Floralicious Plus, but i do add Technaflora Liquid Humus to my coco (about a 1/4 of the time). Both have the lowest application rate of liquid products ive found (1mL/Gal and 2mL/Gal respectively; that Liquid Humus is thick as shit).
