I disagree. I suggest you try writing a Windows program that will display the processes running on a system along with the columns
of information supported by the process manager.

We wrote various programs to manage processes in a Windows
programming course that I took many years ago.

We're really talking about a lot of stuff borrowed from VMS
and running through structures and chasing pointers does do
real work.

"For example, a simple script that runs a stable set of instructions in a tight loop would load 100% in task manager, but it won't mean the CPU is doing anything useful."

Define "useful". If nothing else, it was stable enough to run 4 cores at a high load factor. Given the fact that it had booted into windows enough to do this, shows a fair amount was working and was stable.
