I have spent months on projects that benefit a small subset of a service that's a small dependency of another service that's ultimately only used in emergency/outage situations.
It was absolutely essential for the company to have these systems in place, but I was under no illusion that I'd actually see them used during my time in the team because disasters of the necessary magnitude are rare.
So seeing the user journey and understanding the importance did nothing for my feeling on disconnection from what I'm working on.
So I emphasize with the original poster a lot on this.
