The subject matter absolutely matters in this sort of discussion. You use economics as an example, well depends on what level of economics you are talking about. Basic personal finance? Yes I'm sure a lot of people would be fine with that. Forcing art students to take high level Micro Economics? I think people would be calling that dumb as well.

Why would it be a fluff course. My read of the article is that just an indigo ions studies course is required. This means you would have plenty to choose from in order to find something interesting. I would hope the individual colleges would add courses to meet these requirements that are relevant.
