Glitch, data placeholder, error handler - whatever they are, they're effectively akin to the cryptids of the Pokémon world. And just like "real world" cryptids, I find them super interesting.
After a pretty fun Community Day, my fiancee and I found the PokéStops in our town completely swamped with the Niantic's odd creature, and honestly it was super interesting even though they disappeared, transforming into Chikorita and Ditto after we caught them.
Also, regarding the title, I don't think the little creature / Nutto / Missingnut is actually a placeholder!! I want to believe it's going to be a real Pokémon... :3c

I have a feeling it's more of a teaser for Generation VIII/the Let's Go games if anything else.
