What if the restaked points end up not giving you an airdrop or any actual rewards 🤔

I wouldn't say that there's no incentive just because there's no monetary reward.

Points in this regard are useful to determine who has been helpful to and active in an ecosystem. Especially in the absence of direct monetary reward for their effort.

True, but depending on the service they can be beneficial, in the case of staking.

It's still up to the points issuer to make sure that incentives to gain points require a net benefit to the system.

Helpful ≠ Active.
Degen users/airdrop hunters are a worthless customer segment.

Exactly! In marketing, loyalty points system has been used for years and there is a reason why it is still so popular among companies. Not every time there is an huge high-value reward for collecting the points, but it almost always improves retention of customers. Psychology and status are powerful things.
