And also, this is what makes NFS useless.

Latency is at least two orders of magnitude higher. That is the (relevant) difference here. And treating it like a loc system with all the incidental non-optimizations made the NAS use-case take 40 hours for colored "ls" output.

I find it extremely useful and it works well for many use cases. This already implies that "it is useless" is pure nonsense. If it does not work for your usecase, just don't use it.

The basic argument was "NFS is stupid". The basis for this claim is its data model being ill-suited to network latency. This is different from "useless".
