it makes a huge difference for me if insoluble fiber is pulverized. I can eat much, much more of it than if it's intact. Gnawing on a whole cinnamon stick wouldn't be so great for me, but adding ground cinnamon as a spice when cooking is actively helpful.
I don't think insoluble fiber ferments, so that shouldn't be an issue for people concerned about that. It's the rapidly fermenting soluble fibers like inulin and FOS that really can cause problems.
Best,

That's really odd, considering cinnamon is a digestive aid...
