What really matters for backlinks?

I think you should carefully select high-quality websites for backlinks rather than building them in bulk, as mass link building can backfire.
 
For one campaign, when i look at the thousands of backlinks created by Rankerx, MR, SEOAP, etc,:
- only less than 50 links shown in Semrush & Afrefs
- out of these, more than 90% were Nofollow
- when i checked google with 'site:[URL of backlinks', more than 95% were not indexed.
- this left me with fewer than 5 links that were indexed & ********.
- same situation with other campaigns.

Ai said that backlinks that are not indexed by Google passed no value to moneysite.
Is it a true statement?
I'm not sure if I should quit running these softwares.
I usually check a backlink's value by looking at the linking page's indexation, organic traffic, niche relevance, site history, and overall backlink profile. Also check whether the link is live, crawlable, and ******** or nofollow.
