Is rmsRMS value of a pulse wave practically useful?

As we know the mean value of a pulse wave  (depending on its duty cycle) corresponds to a constant DC. But

But when it comes to alternating current through a resistor for DC power correspondance we measure the rmsRMS value i.e. rmsRMS of ' anan alternating current becomes such as the current which lights a bulb as the same intensity as if we have a DC value of the same with that rmsRMS.

I measure pulse wave voltage with Voltmeter's DC settings. I think it gives the mean value.

So my question is Ifif we have a pulse wave does it make sense anymore to talk about its rmsRMS value?
