My experience is people saying Biden shouldn't win the presidency and I tell them they should express their dissatisfaction in the primary instead of giving the presidency to Trump and then they're like "no, primaries are meaningless".
In this case the primary is meaningless, there is no chance of an incumbent president not being the nominee. Even in the New Hampshire ballot where Biden wasn't even a named candidate, he still won as a write-in.
I won't judge anyone for voting however they want in the primary, at least, and I think it's dumb if you do. I've voted for candidates who dropped out in the past just to express my displeasure at the de facto nominee.
The uncommitted campaign seems to have them frazzled, they wouldn't have establishment Dems telling people that the uncommitted campaign helps trump if it had no effect at all. They are watching, it rattles their confidence, and seems to have at least some amount of impact on policy, and I don't see a downside.
