Nah, it's not that variable, it just fluctuates a bit. By "it's not as useful" I mean that weight loss/gain happens at larger timescales, so you can't look at normal daily noise and say "omg im so fat".

I think the noise has more to do about the time you last drank water (right before bed, for example), also the time you last ate (the later you eat, the more food you'll still be digesting when weighing yourself). It's not a problem by any stretch, it's just normal data variance.
