If you don't overcook, they are great for keeping the interior moist.
It crisps by removing surface moisture through air circulation. But it's the radiant heat from the element that heats up the interior, and the crisping creates a barrier between the interior moisture and the exterior hot air.
So you COULD dry out meat by neglecting it, but it's relatively forgiving, much more forgiving than neglecting a steak in a frying pan or on the grill, . . . or a pizza in a conventional oven.
