I'm not sure why anyone would find them useless?

There are a few reasons:
1. Warriors are one of the worst solo classes in the game, which does limit their usability for some players. I am not saying Warriors can't solo, but most classes do it better, and cheaper.
2. Warriors often need assistance to hold agro. For example: a root class will root the mob, so the Warrior doesn't need to get to the top of the hate list. While this is effective, the Warrior is doing less work in the group compared to a Knight. There are some items like Bio Orb that can offset this issue. A blinded mob will also just attack the nearest player. But blind is riskier due to the mob running away when all the mob's targets are out of melee range. Knights do not need to spend 100k to have a reliable method for getting the mob to attack them.
3. The self sustaining agro of Knights, and their superior ability to pull, is worth the trade-off of lower DPS for most P99 content. This is because dedicated DPS classes typically do enough damage to clear most group content already, and DPS has diminishing returns in a lot of scenarios. This is why you rarely see 6 player groups. The extra DPS the additional group members are providing does not offset the XP loss the group is getting for having 6 players instead of 3-4.
Obviously Warriors are amazing in the situations we use them. Warriors are the best tanks in the game when you need Warrior Discs. When geared with raid items, they can solo well enough too.
