Sorry, you don't know what you're talking about. Nobody is truly claiming these models can be used directly for drug discovery (well, some people claim that; but they're wrong). We already knew that, though- the same problem exists with high quality crystal structures.

What would be more interesting is if we did a whole bunch of crystal or cryo-EM structures far from what we've previously determined and demonstrate whether alphafold could make out-of-class predictions for them.
