Does it make sense to put money to ETFs other than those indexed to US SP500 or Nasdaq?

Hello, I have tried to study various ETFs and I am not sure it makes sense to put money into ETF indexed other than SP500 or Nasdaq (ignoring sector specific ETFs such as ARKK). I am specifically thinking of emerging market such as VWO, EEM or EIMI. It was argued that since rapid GDP growths will occur in EM countries, their stock markets will grow rapid also. It doesnt turn out that way. The return of EM ETFs compared to SP500 and Nasdaq has been disappointing. Is this the case of too much diversification?

Any comment?

I feel that those emerging market ETF is just for you to diversify your portfolio so as not to be too reliant on one country.

I would treat EM as you would sector specific ETFs. Hence only invest if you feel EM will do well or...
