The only thing they're good for is CEOs and other upper management who want to do layoffs and product enshittification, but they want someone to point the finger at when they get pushback on that and/or if it goes badly for the company. So they pay McKinsey a few million dollars to have them come in and recommend layoffs and product enshittification. So now the CEO has an excuse to do that and someone else to blame when people don't like it.
