I completely agreeHowever shutter speed is often used with strobes to control background luminance & ND filters will allow that, in just the same way as aperture. A
The ND Filter reduces the ambient light "equally" across the frame. When you add a strobe you're changing the EV on selective portions of the frame. I use an ND outside to lower the overal EV of the scene so that I can balance aperture and shutter for the intended shot. Using an ND with strobe is somewhat counterproductive, because switching to HSS negates the need for an ND.
