I understand why you both disagree with me but allow me to analogize further:
It is powerful in the way a hostage situation is powerful.
A toddler is also powerful in the way of a hostage situation. Whether you actively ignore or respond, you are required to give some attention to them.

I’m talking “in that moment”. Think of protestors who block traffic. They block traffic and then they’re done. People look bad at them afterwards. But they don’t cause any long term harm. They just make themselves the center of attention for a short time.
