Are multi-vitamins pills useful or is it just a marketable product?

Some important vitamins are difficult to synthesize, often solvable only in fats and difficult to store without cooling. I guess you get a lot of vitamins which are easily to produce and often added to industrial foods, but barely vitamins you need with those magical multivitamin products which shall fill all demand bars in your nutrition plan.
I think eating sometimes few sardines or products made of liver with wide spectrum of veggies brings more than multivitamin juices and pills.

Due to the demands of my job and my lack of money, I don’t have a fully well-rounded lifestyle or diet. Eating multivitamins is easier than eating the individual supplements of vitamins I lack in my daily meals, and was recommended by my GP doctor after seeing my blood tests.

If they are actual good quality ones then they are useful for plugging holes in your diet to help you get what you need. But it's highly recommended that you get most of your vitamins and nutrients through real foods that is the best source to get them from.

Unless your diet sucks, you're already getting everything you need. Taking a multi-vitamin can just make it easier to eat what you want to eat and still get the required nutrition. It's not required if you eat healthily.

Malti vitamins are for people with medical nutrition issues where you have to get your needed nutrients from a pill.. BUT even then only certain vitamins actually work or are of good quality. So yes and no depending on need

I've heard that they're most useful when supplemented specifically for what we're significantly deficient in.

The potential damage outweighs the potential usefulness. Better consume the original fruits and vegetables.

They are only good for making very expensive urine.

Not the ones at the grocery store most likely the ones at the health food store like the vitamin Shoppe where you can get 12 vitamins in one packet

They are useful to some degree.
