No, he just proves Restif de la Bretonne right about rootless city dwellers

Sadism for the sake of sadism is permutative and fairly repetitive. There can only be as many combinations of "X shits in Y's mouth, then Y pisses in X's mouth while Z eats X's shit" without having to throw something new to the mix to create new permutations.
There's even a part in 120 days of Sodom if I recall in which, after a mother and her daughter do some stuff to each other for a dozen or so lines, he writes "maybe in this part one could switch the mother with the daughter to change it up a bit".
Borges could have written something interesting on the matter, the entirety of Sade's work is just permutations of the same 4-5 situations

His books show that the one in power is always a pervert

Kinda, but it probably won't be worth getting through the chore of actually reading his works to get to it

>MADAME DE SAINT-ANGE — I believe it is now of the highest importance to provide against the escape of the poison circulating in Madame's veins; consequently, Eugénie must very carefully sew your cunt and ass so that the virulent humor, more concentrated, less subject to evaporation and not at all to leakage, will more promptly cinder your bones.
>EUGENIE — Excellent idea! Quickly, quickly, fetch me needle and thread! Spread your thighs, Mamma, so I can stitch you together—so that you'll give me no more little brothers and sisters.
(Madame de Saint-Ange gives Eugénie a large needle, through whose eye is threaded a heavy red waxed thread; Eugénie sews.)
>MADAME DE MISTIVAL — Oh, my God! the pain!
>DOLMANCE, laughing like a madman — By God! excellent idea indeed! it does you honor, my dear; it would never have occurred to me.
>EUGENIE, from time to time pricking the lips of the cunt, occasionally stabbing its interior and sometimes using her needle on her mother's belly and mons veneris — Pay no attention to it, Mamma. I am simply testing the point.
>LE CHEVALIER — The little whore wants to bleed her to death!
>DOLMANCE, causing himself to be frigged by Madame de Saint-Ange, as he witnesses the operation — Ah, by God! how this extravagance stiffens me! Eugénie, multiply your stitches, so that the seam will be quite solid.
>EUGENIE — I'll take, if necessary, over two hundred of them… Chevalier, frig me while I work.
>LE CHEVALIER, obeying — I've never seen a girl as vicious as this one!
>EUGENIE, much inflamed — No invectives, Chevalier, or I'll prick you! Confine yourself to tickling me in the correct manner. A little asshole, if you please, my friend; have you only one hand? I can see no longer, my stitches go everywhere… Look at it I do you see how my needle wanders… to her thighs, her tits… Oh, fuck! what pleasure!…

Philosophy in the Bedroom has genuine value insofar as he's making a revolutionary critique of the liberal revolution itself (pushing it beyond the breaking points to its logical conclusions, e.g. his quasi-Marxist observation that the notion of a social contract around private property is incoherent and the propertyless classes must be in eternal conflict with the propertied classes)
He also does some interesting things with Spinoza's antihumanism. I view him as essentially the 'aristocratic Spinozist' as opposed to Marx's 'proletarian Spinozist'

If you’re reading about anything besides 120 Days, yes

The insert pamphlet in Philosophy in the Bedroom is worth reading and not too distasteful, in the sense that whilst it advocates for the legalisation of murder and rape, and the compulsory prostitution of women, no one eats feces or actually does anything vile, which is quite rare for Sade.
