Artemis has not produced anything of value, literally:

* The SLS is a rehash of Space Shuttle components with no new technology. Arguably, it's a regression since we will be using reusable SSMEs as disposables.

* Orion serves no valuable purpose in the wake of Crew Dragon and, indeed, even Starliner.

* The entire program has achieved nothing outside of one or two test launches depending on how you count.

Any other use of this money would produce more value, because any value is bigger than zero.
