Still, given the market was like Meh, seems like nobody thought it was very useful.

That said, yeah I see how you are right. Lots of businesses run month to month. When they run out of cash they go bankrupt. Once enough companies do so, the economy takes much longer to recover.

Maybe keeping the market from doing something much worse than "meh" was the point, and this was a success?
