A doctor can know to not tell a patient to just exercise, or know to not just prescribe an antidepressant, and know to recommend pacing. And the doctor can join everyone else in demanding research.

Every person that knows and wants treatments is a vote, in a way. Maybe some people's "vote" matters more for ultimately getting results, but it's still valuable to have as many people as possible aware of the situation to try to push it forward faster.
And from the perspective of each person, it should not have taken me ten years to figure out what I have is ME/CFS, being pushed to try random meds, therapy, and exercise all the while. Maybe if people were talking about an "ME/CFS Day" long ago, my doctor or I would have figured it out sooner.
