Is it no different because some other company would fill in the gap? Or because literally no one cares whether or not whatever your company does gets done?

If someone else would step in and do it, it’s not unique but isn’t necessarily bullshit.

This company's customers / clients and suppliers might of course care... But if the suppliers exist only to supply this, and the clients in turn don't produce anything otherwise useful either, maybe none of them really matter. So if someone else would step in and do it, that might just mean that then someone else would be doing an equally bullshit job.
