Generating huge amounts of stylistically awful ultra-verbose nonsense isn’t actually useful in any industry other than the ultra-low-end journalism/blogspam space. Either no-one reads it anyway, in which case it’s more or less a wash, or someone actually has to read it, in which case it’s a productivity drain.

It's a productivity boost for the people who have to generate the text that nobody reads. At an organisational level it's a wash caused by requiring that text in the first place
