The utility is relative to the purpose. If everything is compute that you don't know how to program, and that's all you want to do - sure that's useless.
If you what you want is a powerful analysis framework, that's gold.
If you know how to abstract your way forward with that framework that too.
So arguing that the distinction is useless because it's universal, is like saying logic is useless because it's universal.
