Start trek transporters work because of a Heisenberg compensator. Great, no idea how it could possible work but it’s enough to know it does.

The typical poorly received uses aren’t when the cre beams down from orbit, or even when they can’t beam down, it’s when they de age people and retrieve their pattern from the buffer to cure an illness, and never do it again, or when they beam light years away for a throw away story element.
