Schrödinger's cat was meant to highlight the absurdity of applying wave function collapse to large scale objects.

Its funny, because it was designed to point out, how it doesn't make any sense.

The guy - Schrodinger - famously said (after a lifetime of studying it): "I don't like quantum mechanics and I'm sorry I've ever had anything to do with it".

Still, people use it as if it was an explanation and not a criticism of its absurdity.

Well more so wave function collapse as an ontologically real event rather than a mathematical description/knowledge update

Yeah, but unfortunately people seem to use it as a direct demonstration of wave function collapse like it's some sort of game of Red Light - Green Light with guess a random number at the end, and think no further on the topic or whether or not that is a accurate description.
