The intended or desired outcome of Physick is restoring a target HP, it still does that, it cannot be denied, therefore it does not exactly fall under being "useless". In the end it still does it's job, the outcome still happens regardless, but it's effect becomes very lackluster the further past ARR it goes. Again using something like Sleep where the target is immune to Sleep, that IS useless because nothing happens for the outcome except a waste of MP/casting time.

By the way, no one mentioned anything at all about status effects such as Silence, Stun, Blind or Pacify, as THESE still work in a lot of content We are only discussing the likes of Sleep, Bind, knockback, to which I also mentioned this does not include solo content where a lot of it can actually be used,. You won't however seen them being used in DF content for the reason they just don't won't do much at all (knockback tends to be more viable but still not so much).
