I think your sardonic remark is right on the money. We have two economies here in the U.S. and many people really needed the stimulus. Through no fault of their own, millions lost their jobs - and their health insurance - during the pandemic. As mentioned by some on this thread, there may have been some people who didn't need the stimulus money, which incidentally was means-tested, but there were a whole lot who absolutely did. The stimulus wasn't a joke, but a lifeline for many. And probably unfortunately, only a temporary one.
