it's just a typical "oh look wat we can do with InScRiPtioNs that is gOoD" pointless thing like building a full sized house out of lego
oh the lego can be used to build a house, wooowww...

Being able to guarantee that prohibited data remains always available and impossible to censor is not useless.
Try finding the dimensions to mill out an AR-15 auto sear on Google.
downloading 500gb of blocks to get at 64kb of data doesn't make any sense when you can just as anonymously share it across the internet on bittorrent or IPFS with no way for the government to stop it
and even if they manage to get a few nodes to not propagate some set of infohashes you can just change one bit in the file and the block fails
Torrents are ephemeral. People stop seeding them. There are documents that I used to have that I can't find anymore. The bitcoin blockchain is forever.
The problem with ordinals is not that people are putting data on the blockchain in general. The problem is that Taproot made it cheaper than it ought to be. If it were appropriately cost-prohibitive, people would only inscribe very important things.
