The merit lies not in the tool itself but how it's used.
That fact that you could build something poorly with it doesn't take away from the fact that in the right hands it has more options than a plain text book and could also be used to create material of high quality. You can have boring and overly concrete text books or dull uninspiring face-to-face teachers too. Both may utterly fail to fire up the minds of the students. I'm sure we can all recall examples.
Any limitations here are more likely to be with our own imaginations than with any particular failing of the tools.
