No such thing as a stupid question. It's a question that this paper in Proteomics (which appears to be a legit journal) attempts to answer, at least.

I didn't say stupid but sometimes people asking in a way which might not feel legimate / honest.

You were making the claim, so I thought you’d have an answer on hand. I’m wondering if it might be you who was commenting in bad faith ?
Everyone who is looking for proteins (vacines, medication) need to find the right proteins for different cases. For attaching to something (antibody design), for delivering something (like another protein) or for understanding a disease (why is this protein an issue?).
Covid research benefitted from this for example.
You can go through papers which reference the alphafold paper to see what it does: https://consensus.app/papers/highly-protein-structure-predic...
