ok
for opening theory there is Chess960. For engines chess.com does not allow you to use engines if u are not on unrated
homework is part of the game and always has been. engines are good for blunder checking, but often their favorite moves lose big time over the board. I'm happy to dig databases and write my own theory when not discovering new lines like the englund gambit > hartlaub charlick gambit which I've looked for for DECADES to get out of the stonewall straightjacket without fianchettoing.
theory can help players fine tune their games to THEIR STYLE too. it all makes theory progress. those that really do their homework can beat a player of equal raw strength through prep.
annoying sidelines happen
You give stalefish too much credit.
Very often the weird engine moves it plays are the WORST performing where the 5 points down line is the one that wins.
People have always studied theory only now there are amateur databases one can cobble theory better than any timid pawn pushing grampmustard lame line.
Studying theory is the only way I can learn to improve my openings... remebering the patterns that make sense or not.

You had me agreeing with your statement until you referred to got chess as a scum bag. He seems to be a very decent person and most of his advice is from chess study and reflection on poor moves we lower level players make. I agree chess engines have given a edge to casual players, who study 10 move traps and it is frustrating when playing a 900 eilo playing like a 1500...
indeed. If one is singling out a demographic (those who study & use engine analysis or those who strictly use engine analysis) then you might have a great point. But here you don't. Casuals are not players I would think who would need to use opening books or want to access engines. Beginners clearly don't know how to benefit from these resources. I say all this, contextually, in general. On the other hand, I respect your, "principle of the thing" of over use and dependency on these resources. Buyer beware. It can become habitual for some players, and yes that calls for some ground for players to say something as a PSA. But to say it's "ruining" the State of Chess Today is abit Grandiose. And Ultimately False. What you're saying now, alert, has been going on for over a decade. Technically 30+ years but I'm just focusing more on Recent Times. Besides, I can already tell (without even looking at your profile) you're still new to the game yourself. How can you say such things, big worldly stuff, without having experienced at least 5-10 years of playing? Alas, instead of critiquing the State of Chess in your eyes, I highly recommend just playing chess faithfully, by YOUR Principles (which is a more pertinent, important priority for you in real time) advocating for that.

he recommends dubious openings and has given up and now just follows the system and makes clickbait.

there are so many ways to play agianst the stonewall. If you perfer to play more open then go for Nc3 and Bg5. You really shouldnt be resorting to even more dubious play just because you cant cope with ones opening choice.

Not so much openings but as a beginner I certainly benefit from engines.
It's normal for beginners to anylise their games afterwards, isn't it?
The OP way back on page one... kind of nailed it.
Carlsen has a photographic memory ... good bet the others at the top do too.
In a podcast with the current WC of postal chess... (Postal Chess is a joke!!! with a capitol "J") he was feeding Carlsen analyses of critical lines he himself was playing.
Postal chess has lost all it's merits.. At the top, those guys run about 6-8 operating systems 24/7 with the strongest programs... crunching lines. And as you would suspect all lines lead to a draw. The current postal WC is the WC because he won one game in the tournament (and was the only one lol! what a joke.... !) he admitted the opponent "clerically screwed up" and sent in the wrong move. BTW: they now only play about 4 openings at the top in postal chess... all other opening they believe are inferioir and "get this".... don't lead to a draw. What a joke!!!
Back to Carslen and his photographic memory... (and the analysis the WC of postal chess was feeding him)

You are telling dumb chess retards to think. Mate, this sport was ruined before we were even born. Theory makes chess a memory game rather than a skill game. It is garbage. Absolute, utter, garbage.
This is why I don't understand but the worst part for me in agame is the opening. I can proceed further in the middle game with critical decisions but have to pick a familiar opening. The possibility of many openings make it very tricky.
Tbh, You should just stick to something basic like the italian or something else.
