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).
Those moves aren’t useless though, the content is designed to exclude them, that’s not an issue with the move it’s an issue with the content design. Physick is not made useless by the content you are doing, it’s made useless by the design of the move scaling off a stat that SMN doesn’t use, when this is a simple fix of changing the stat it scales off of.
