I think there's a contradiction in claiming a term is meaningless and discussing its definition is pointless, and saying it can help explain things.

It's somewhat like “metaverse”, which to this day nobody can explain precisely, and yet we spent two years talking about it as it was the future. Meaningless and subject of countless discussions. There's no contradiction; it is possible.
As a counterpoint, there also still isn't any precise definition of what "life" is, but it's nevertheless an extremely useful concept.
