Capitalism is trying as hard as possible to replace people with machines, but there are a lot of jobs that machines simply can’t do.
This is not absolutely true. I’ve seen and worked manual jobs that could absolutely be automated by a fairly simple machine. There isn’t much reason to automate low-paying jobs away.
There are also a lot of pointless “bullshit jobs.” ~20% of people think their own jobs are pointless.
I’ve been around the tech startup scene for a while now, and they often do a lot of pointless work that everyone knows isn’t useful, just because they know that’s what’s “hot” right now with investors.

Ok, fair enough.

How many of them are right? Maybe some of them. But, a lot of people don’t appreciate the whole system they’re part of.

I doubt it’s truly pointless. Sure, it might not end up working, but maybe the investor actually knows more than the workers. There are a lot of successful companies that I saw in their early stages and thought “nobody’s ever going to pay money for that”, and I was completely wrong.
