I think it was David Bronstein who called this incapacity of the two knights "the great injustice of chess".

Two knights only can reach a checkmate position, but can’t force it, so it’s essentially only possible if the side with only a king plays intentionally to allow it. This is different to a draw by insufficient material where a checkmate is not even theoretically possible

One of those useless checkmate to know because it's as rare as getting a bishop pair checkmate.

I conclude Bishop's worth more than knight

[Otaku_san_zuto_kun]

Wait is that mean Double knight is insufficient material?

[JoshuaBlackmon-pfxf]

Exactly why 2 knights can deliver forced mate in some postions .

They need to remove that draw rule.

Naw let black take one knight since it's easier to mate with a king and knight

[AbouTaim-Lille]
