I really enjoy the improvement in code readability as well, it suits the
appropriate template types e.g.

// from
List<RequestData> requests = new ArrayList<RequestData>();

// to
List<RequestData> requests = Lists.newArrayList();

I see absolutely no improvement in the code here, only unhelpful
obfuscation.

When you say it like this, any function can be labeled as "unhelpful obfuscation" :)

Touché! I would agree that any function is obfuscation; whether it is helpful or unhelpful obfuscation varies.
