Except, because of how ratings and sales are gained, the producer's point of view also includes a good percentage of the consumer's point of view.
That's what ratings and merchandise sales do. They tell the producers whether there are enough consumers who like at least part of the show enough to spend money on the merchandise directly or by adding to the TV ratings. Even if they watch it just because it's called Gundam or because they can still hope that it gets better. Or even if they watch it for just one character or one mobile suit. All of that together count towards the overall success of a show. So no, it's not useless at all.
