You can add their influences in normalizing mass production and mass consumerism, "fast decor", the complete blandness of what they sell and how it contributes to globalization and the destruction of diverse aesthetic values...

I am sympathetic to your point, but think that ship has sailed. It might come back, but not in the same form.
I say that as a sample of the population who deeply wants the bland, blank slate aesthetic in reaction to the rococo and non-modular furniture I had to deal with in other people’s home and surroundings.
Paradoxally, I am sure it will come back as a reaction to people like me, and next gnerations might want to get back to their roots and resurface diverse and culturally more anchored styles. When it does, I hope they’ll have small production tools (home grade cnc mills ?) to do so in small batches at low cost, and get crazy with the stuff they make.
