The difficulty of assessing the influence is obvious, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. The influence itself is documented by an FBI investigation. How successful it was, neither you nor anyone else can say. In an election as close as 2016, even a small influence might be productive.
That Russian influence held no sway is ignored because 1) that might not be true, and 2) even if Russian influence held no sway that year, that doesn't mean the threat is gone or won't become more skilled and therefore more dangerous.
