I question what design expertise is needed to come up with a palette that Dieter Rams has come up with. I don’t see any objective or even a deeper understanding of contrast, accessibility, color blindness considerations, application specific aspects, historical analysis, etc. that would be way more illuminating than “Here is a list of some cool palettes from famous designers”.

We are discussing art. Design is a lot more objective than you’re implying.

If you can’t tell what goes into coming up with a palette, then it’s up for debate and questioning.

It's up to you to see if it works for you. The OP was just somebody that got inspired to put together some color patches in a presentation that is reminiscent of Rams. It's not any deeper than that but also not a waste of time.
