Yo guys, I started messing around with footstooling with a few characters and I found that Link has "some" usages with footstooling. I even came up with a small video on what you can do out of a footstool (mainly with zairs since they are fast and can reset your opponent in a neutral position)
Of course, these are just ways to punish your opponent if they failed to tech the footstool. But none of these are definite in terms of being inescapable. There are other options instead of just zairing your opponent after the footstool though. However I like to use zair because if your opponent does manages to tech the footstool, using zair won't really put you in a bad position.
Against ROB though, you can zair before he hits the ground. This causes him to bounce up in a neutral position without him teching the footstool.

Again, I'm not saying that footstooling is extremely good or anything, but it could possibly surprise your opponent if they do not see a footstool coming and they don't tech it. And it can also give you good opportunities to reset your opponent to deal more damage/combo them even further.
What do you guys think?
