Yes, for the right cardholder this is an easy card to justify. A $95 annual fee is reasonable when the card earns 2x points everywhere, plus 5x on travel and 3x on dining, especially with points valued at 1 cent each. If you want one card that can handle most of your spending without forcing you to juggle categories, the rewards structure does a lot of the work.
Where this card is less compelling is on perks. There are no listed statement credits, lounge benefits, status perks, or notable side features to help offset the annual fee beyond the rewards themselves. That means the value case is pretty simple: you should get this card if you'll spend enough to make the stronger earn rates matter. If you want a card that justifies its fee through travel benefits or premium protections, this is probably not the one.

This card makes the most sense for someone who wants strong everyday rewards and elevated travel and dining earnings in a simple setup. Its main limitation is that the annual fee is carried almost entirely by spending rewards, not extra benefits.

Rewards percent based on a valuation of 1¢ per FAIRWINDS point
The rewards story here is straightforward: you earn FAIRWINDS points worth about 1 cent each, so the points map closely to cash value. The key question is whether you'll use the 2x everywhere rate and the boosted travel and dining categories often enough to make this your main card.
