Yes.

It was never about keeping Kursk; it was a distraction to thin out Russian forces and have them refocus efforts on their own territory instead of attacking Ukraine. Eventually losing it was expected.

Yes, the real question is - to whom was it worth the effort? To imperialists that play for world resource domination - maybe. For people - no. On both sides - no.
