The grob attack (1.g4?!) is more of a meme opening than an actual one, and is pretty terrible in classical otb chess. But recently I have been scoring victories by employing the grob in 5/2 games. Though objectively poor, it has many traps within, so I think it's not a bad choice in blitz.
ok
I played a terrible game with the grob just now.

If the opponent doesn't care about the position and is just 'move move move' then it might not.

But white literally never castles and has poor development that's the problem.
