@Nullisecundus, it is a positive, it won’t help someone who otherwise would have had no shot (unless the legacy connection is someone rich or famous) but it certainly could help push a candidate who otherwise had a decent chance of getting in that last inch into accepted, but admissions are a weird thing, sometimes odd decisions are made like in the case mentioned above. There were probably other details that we are not aware of in that case.
