> weren’t timeshares scams in and of themselves?

They're not technically scams. Just generally not good things to own for most people.

If you use your vacation time every year for the rest of your life, they can be decent.

It's just that most people don't want to vacation to the same place, the same week every year. And they're notoriously difficult to get out of.

My parents bought into Worldmark by Wyndham and they or us kids used it a ton, and the facilities were all pretty nice, so there are some that work out well.
