Comparing Strava estimated power to actual power is ridiculous. It's so far out
Well yeah, I mean one is supplied in real time from a specific device and the other is produced after the fact by some black box calculation.
that it's utterly pointless
Not really - it gives you low / medium / high which is probably good enough if you don't mind your power information coming to you after the ride is over. It will answer the 'did I smash it?' question.
I mean let's face it - owning a power meter is pointless unless you are really systematic and scientific in your training.
