I have worked in the industry for 18 years, and have seen more experts with alphabet soup go through our doors than I can stand.
I am not trying to knock you, or the CISSP program, but in my experience most accreditation systems are just money making scams. As the saying goes "the proof is in the pudding", if you are capable of securing, keeping a machine secure and fixing machines that have been compromised, then you can claim to be experienced, and it doesn't matter what letters you put after your name.
I agree with you 100% .
It does usually help when getting hired or when freelancing since most
CIO's are all about the certifications. I do agree that with many certifications
you can be a total dud with extra letters to your name.
