I agree with what you are saying.
> Carousels are good for things users should be vaguely aware of but are not likely to click on
Carousels should be used to set the _tone_ of the webpage, and not be meant for content to be clicked on.
For example, all major fashion e-commerce website dedicate large amount of homepage screen-estate to a carousel showing their major brands, current discounts, etc. The user can still use the search or menu functionality to look for what they want (and I think majority do), but now the tone of the business has been set.
