Actually they’re worse than useless. In the operation theatre infection is M O R E likely when there’s a mask. It’s a wet hot Petri dish for bacteria pushed up against your face.
A mask's purpose is no different than simply covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze (and covering your mouth is far MORE effective). When they inevitably say "but not everybody does that!", well... not everybody wears a mask properly either. In fact those circles in the venn diagram comparing them are almost perfectly laid over one another.
There is no evidence to support mass asymptomatic spread- the virus needs a way to be put into the air to be transmitted, which can basically only happen if you're coughing or sneezing.
The only kind of "asymptomatic spread" I can imagine is if the virus made its way to our saliva ducts and/or our lungs, got into the small amount of saliva in our mouths and/or water vapor in the air we breathe, escaped our body via the water vapor we exhale, and lasted long enough in an open-air environment to make contact with another living creature.
Only THEN at THAT point could the virus (which, again, has no means of moving itself in an open-air environment, no means of self-replication without an infected host cell, and no means of infecting/infiltrating skin cells) even POTENTIALLY spread to another person asymptomatically if the other person took whatever body part touched the infected surface and then rubbed the virus-covered body part on the wet portions of their eyes, nose, or mouth.
Even then, the spread would be EXPONENTIALLY faster if the virus induced sneezing/coughing to speed up the ejection of infected water vapor, and no amount of PPE in the world would ever UNinfect the entire planet if the virus can survive indefinitely on any open-air surface.
If COVID had the potential for asymptomatic spread, we ALL would have been infected with the virus just as easily as we get infected by the latest strain of "The Common Cold" every year.
Not to mention cloth masks are quite literally useless. The left's medicine god Fauci admits this.

Not driving cars would save thousands of lives.
I have psoriatic arthritis. I’m fortunate that I don’t have skin issues but even with disposable masks, my jaw has been rough 😓
Not true, they make sheeple feel safe!
And commies easier to spot
Talismans.
