Wouldn’t people be projecting their desires and hopes that they will receive the outcomes they want onto the placebo and then it manifests as a “sort of positive” outcome? Sorry, I am already aware placebo is something that is supposed to be ineffective yet it still has some sort of positive effect, it’s just that I’m kind of confused.

Placebo is in no way in effective. It is a both powerful and valuable. Equally so is nocebo (the equal and opposite effect). If more people actively utilised the placebo it would save money, time and resources in the health care dimension. So would avoidance and minimisation of nocebo.
