I agree that it's tautological, but if stating something so plain and simple can cause people to have a revelation that seems useful. Poetry is made of this kind of stuff.
This is kind of like saying a compressed file is not useful because it requires being decompressed.
mental file storage 🤌

Stating something so simple doesn't cause people to have a revelation though. It means nothing unless it's explained, and that explanation should replace its use.

I'm not sure we can conclude that. For me, it led to "oh yeah the price of bitcoin doesn't matter if you accept things will eventually be priced in bitcoin." I assume avianoculartissue21 had a similar revelation.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, your argument reduces to an argument against abstraction.
Why write
1 + 1 = 2 when we could explain arithmetic every time instead?Are we disagreeing or misunderstanding each other?
