Since reading Higurashi I have come to learn and enjoy those "vapid" moments when the characters interact in a seemingly useless manner. It may feel pointless but without those I wouldn't have remembered Higurashi when things went south, same in RGD. As for Umineko, they were vital as well considering they gave you information on the characters' traits and personalities, providing you with material and knowledge to actually try and solve the mystery. I won't deny that Ryukishi often has issues with pacing or walls of peace but in my opinion, if done well, this is a strength.
... Unless if you meant something completely different?
