I don't disagree that there are important themes, but he wasn't a good writer. Following the logic that a piece of media is good because an analysis of its motives says it's good, we should appreciate all the modern movies/tv series/comics/books which are dreadful to watch but check all the boxes when it comes to themes. And yet we don't do that.

They will. Just not on exams which test their ability to write an essay.

That's the main issue here, the exam requires them to perform a pretty much obsolete task (like, you don't even write/speak that way in real life, so it's literally something you use only as long as you study something), so it doesn't matter if it is applicable at all, only that someone who has the ability to fail you requires you to write it.

I think that essays are pointless, I utilized skills learned when arguing on the internet in my writing, not the other way around.

However, the education system isn't really something you can avoid, so... They have to learn how to write _something_ because otherwise they'll fail an exam. As far as I understand it's not something you can cheat on, access to ai answers would be difficult.

So, pointless as it may be, they won't be able to finish it if they just keep cheating on your assignments.
