Pyramids are the perfect analogy to disprove your point. The pyramids were useless tombs that wealthy kings wanted because of religious beliefs. As an engineer, I have spent many months building features that were disabled/deleted because the measurements showed they were no good after release.

But in my personal experience, every product discussion I'm in I bring great value to.
