Then don't look at them. I get tired of bird and flower pictures so I just don't look at most of them but I don't deride them.
But I do look at them. I stare at them on a 60" TV and cast curses on the members and supporters of the Red Rocks School of Ultrawide Cliches.

From 1964 until 1978 I shot one to two weddings or Bar Mitvahs almost every weekend. Just a few of these jobs were done for clients of mine, most being done for a number of studios I worked for in NYC. To be honest, I have had no contact with any of these people for at least 40 years. Whether my images are still being shown to children, grandchildren or great grandchildren, I have no idea. I would like to think somewhere some of my images are cherished by family members. The first weddings I did in 1964 are now celebrating 58 years of married bliss, if they've made it. My first Bar Mitzvah boy is now on Social Security. Timeless, who knows.

Consider the Impressionists. Their paintings are timeless. We know who they are as individuals. Why can't it be the same for photographers?
Millions of paintings have been done. Out of the millions I would venture to say that you only know of a handful and even fewer artists. It's the same with photography. There are millions of photographers but you only know the names of a few of them. It's the nature of the beast.

Then that's your own fault. Curse yourself, not the photographer(s) and those who like them. Nobody is making you put those images on your 60" TV and nobody is making you look at them when they are on it. To thine own self be true.

Needed a hobby. Photo was always all bidnez ... well, almost always. Anywho, casting curses is not only big fun, its a societal benefit as well.

Then apparently you are enjoying the red rock landscapes, albeit for your own reasons. In that case maybe you shouldn't complain about them. Or is that also part of the entertainment?

Gets more "hits".
Notoriety can be beneficial,

Nope, but they have in common the history of human activity and looking to the future.
Databases do require attention and upkeep as time passes. For example, the information that Google gathers and stores never seems to go away. We must assume that somehow, Google finds a way to support its project for future use. I do not know the business model of Google, yet I surmise that Google funds its project as a matter of policy.
I agree that the central government could act to destroy the content of one or more databases for an ideological purpose. The attempt to erase history has happened before.
Early Christians tried to destroy pagan beliefs, practices, and artwork. Barbarically, these religious fanatics went around breaking off the noses of statuary of pagan expression.

Is saving for posterity the same thing as “timeless” in the context of the question that was asked?
And simply saving doesn’t assure long time survival because storage systems require maintenance, space, and money. Adding to that, new governments might be hostile to historical data and order it destroyed.
For example, Nixon hated Space Exploration, he ordered all the Apollo engineering drawings destroyed to assure there would be no more moon launches.
