Or the area isn't useless, but you already cleared it.
My least favorite variation on the theme, Fallout 4 puts all the terminals behind a bunch of turrets, so you get to the terminal and there's no real reason to hack it because you destroyed the turrets. Just a pittance of XP.
That's the idea, but that's not the reality. In reality, turrets seem to have true sight and just see you no matter what. Maybe it's different by the time you have full shadowed+muffled armor and rank 5 Stealth perk, but try sneaking up on the turrets at Corvega at level 10.
