In my experience sites were pushing updates to their pages to make a 5 year old article appear as if it had been updated just this week, so as to prevent filtering out such content for being irrelevant.
So to some extent the value of the date function was already being destroyed by corruption, but I did still get use out of it so I think this is premature.
