Using a tomb to expand our knowledge of the ancient world seems like small potatoes in comparison. Overton window is already far off

How is the Pantheon and the Invalides any different from a cemetery? Do you think the mere act of visiting a burial site is immoral?

That’s a bit over-selling it. The Panthéon and the Invalides are not really touristic attractions. The Louvre, Versailles, and the Eiffel Tower are much more effective for that purpose. They are used for culture building, not to make money.
Besides, only ashes remain of Napoleon and even the bodies that are there are entombed. They are necropoles, not shows. There isn’t much to see there.
