To be more concrete, boilerplate != enforceable.
I'm sure Facebook had some pretty good boilerplate (probably something even more strongly worded and custom) and that didn't stop them from being GDPR slapped.

I highly doubt that every single lawyer in the world went, saw the boilerplate, and said “yeah that’s not enforceable but just keep it in”.
We have had this or similar wording for decades now. It has been vetted by many thousands of lawyers at this point. I highly doubt it’s as unenforceable as you’re trying to paint it out to be.
