It reminds me of greenwashing and other lip service that modern society often pays to social justice issues. Companies will put serious resources into constructing an image that they are "doing good", in a way that has no benefit to the actual issue in question, sometimes even detrimental to it.
The fact that the domes had all the fittings necessary to let them be blown up makes it seem like that was the plan all along, that the whole project was just some kind of busywork to make it seem like they were working on a solution. Feels not unlike the impotent "ethics teams" and DEI teams that big corps set up. Pay some people to do research and write reports and then, when someone is asking what you are doing about X issue, you show them that you are "working on it". Rather than simply executing any of the many legitimate solutions people have already come up with for fixing societal woes.
