So what value does the up/downvote on this platform have? Enlighten the rest of us.

Their value lies in their meaning which is telling everyone how much something got upvoted or downvoted.

Really, it's a simple concept.

In the same sense that a smile and a frown have no value, possibly. But that's rather nihilist.

When smiles and frowns can be manipulated via bots ... I'll agree... but until then, especially on instances that believe communism works, they're beyond useless. Hell many instances disable downvotes so those people can't downvote anyway.
