Then any time you run ssh myserver.net, it’ll use the user you specify here by default.
Wouldnt really help in my use case bc I use the same user on every server

The “host” is just your friendly name for the connection, not necessarily the hostname of the remote host. You can specify the same username or hostname as many times as you want. My config is made up of mostly blocks like this:
Host server1 HostName server1.you.com User your_ssh_username IdentityFile ~/.ssh/yourprivatekey.pem Host server2 HostName server2.you.com User your_ssh_username IdentityFile ~/.ssh/yourprivatekey.pem
