While you’re not at all wrong about the over importance placed on celebrity culture as a whole, maybe you should look inward and ask yourself why you’re so bitter about it?
You can distill any art down to sound useless with that lens.
“A painter contributes nothing to society but the brief second of enjoyment while you look at some colors on a canvas”
“A musician contributes nothing to society but 3 minutes of escapism while you enjoy the sounds they made”
Also I don’t really understand one of your last points, in what way are actors “decreasing opportunities for society to offer to achieve greatness?”
People admire artists and a natural consequence of acting is that people are going to recognize you more than they would in a less forward facing medium.
