As they were mostly non-commitment, no-cost virtue signaling without any benefit to the harmed, of course they never had any usefulness other than allowing the opioid of having run the progressive gauntlet of ideas and become somewhat fashionable so as to rid consumers of horror, guilt, doubt and the complex feelings that should be associated with genocide.
There is always a place for education about horrors committed, but as an also-ran, a brochure cover footnote or something read before a Drunken Shakespeare play you are out to see on a Friday night, they are all offensive to the tragedy of what happened.
