There are unfortunately a lot of people who are put in a bad situation by bosses despite having multiple people explaining the time is a waste. Including them.

So a little bit of passive aggression when someone is in that situation might help them fight out of it and give them a little breathing room. And the reality is that many jobs like that, if the manager reacts badly, it might actually be a relief for the person to finally move on to another job.
