Why does nobody talk about using a simple leveling compound on uneven floors

Last month I tried laying down some new vinyl planks in my basement and the old concrete had these low spots that made everything rock. After three tries with different underlayment I finally just poured a thin layer of self leveling compound in the worst spots and it came out flat as a table. Has anyone else found a faster way to deal with uneven subfloors that doesn't involve grinding down the whole slab?

Well hot dog, you nailed it! Self-leveling compound is the way to go for sure.
