It can be useful for developers trying to get a foothold in industry. Entry-level coding jobs have bad HR screening where the HR blindly checks resumes for certain keywords and bins the non-conforming ones. The result is an arms race of adding more and more keywords to resumes.
Once you have your first job, the situation is different. In such a situation, more keywords attract spammy recruiters/bots.
I agree with your point of being careful before sending such a resume. Best advice will be to read the job description carefully. If it is buzzword heavy, keep a buzzword heavy resume ready to send.
