That Nellie's lime juice is pure key lime juice with no other ingredients, not Rose's or some abomination. It doesn't have the exact flavor of fresh cut limes but for drinks with multiple ingredients, or when the lime is mixed with lemon juice anyway, it works out fine.

We must also consider that Nellie's is "key lime" juice. This is a different fruit and flavor profile from the Kaffir limes or the Persian limes.

If you like using Nellie's, I'm fine with it, but it's often not what is being used in many of the drink recipes we know and love. It's a cool and interesting variation. But my point is that we should be careful to avoid lumping all lime products into a single lime category. Many of us are too experienced to do that, so just wanted to point out that flavor profile thingy in a friendly sort of way.
