If they get a few formulas and rules by rote, but can't figure out when to apply them because they lack understanding, what does that actually get them?
It's not a waste of time to give them a chance of getting something out of it, even if they're almost certainly doomed in this regard.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing in itself, but there's usually not enough time in class to do it; it comes at the expense of the rote learning which these students need to pass the exams.
