Huh? I'm not denying that Critical Theory did not play a role in the development of those other things--it surely did; I'm just saying that the influence of Critical Theory has been mostly pernicious despite its noble goals. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say.

(I am saying that the founding ideas of CRT, prior to it being named CRT, were not cast as a critical theory. But I absolutely acknowledge the role of CT in the later development of CRT, including its naming as "CRT".)

Anyway, no scheme will save you if you don't even try to save things--tools like the scientific method and ChatGPT won't help you if you don't employ them to solve the problems that need solving. As an admonition to be aware of problems, and to question assumptions, Critical Theory plays a useful role. The details are all wrong, however, given human psychology. (And also are perilous because, as you point out, the critiques are mostly destructive in nature rather than providing robust, workable solutions. Because, as they say, power abhors a vacuum, when you tear things down without a good plan for something better, very often you end up with things that are much worse than before.)

(Aside: despite having "science" in the name, even computer science is mostly orthogonal to science--when was the last time you had to set up a controlled experiment to distinguish between competing hypotheses?--and most other tech-related disciplines are even less related.)
