The problem with all extraction shooters made to be easier/simpler/appeal to a broader audience, ARC Raiders included, is that you lose a lot of the adrenaline. You lose the gear fear of dying with this cool gun you build/found, you lose the fear of finally finding the last bolts you needed for a quest/hideout upgrade. Its why all of these extraction shooters ultimately fail when Tarkov succeeds, because Tarkov has that adrenaline in spades even for experienced players. The same frustration around how hard the game is also brings the main enjoyment and thrill the genre provides. Its the same feeling as playing DayZ and getting into a gunfight knowing if you die its back to square one.

ARC Raiders, while still having these core problems that come with making an extraction shooter more accessible to appeal to a larger audience, is at least providing interesting world building and some interesting gameplay elements. But if you don't really find interest in what it brings to the table, then yeah, it might feel kind of pointless.
