Personally I'm pretty indifferent to sons-of (Schumacher, Alesi, Panis, Delétraz, Newey, Montoya, Piquet, Mansell, ...), but I can see how it may appeal to some spectators, media, fans, team owners or manufacturers.
Then again, maybe manufacturers care more about the talent they see rather than a famous last name. Maybe Schwartzman and/or Armstrong turn up to be better prospects than Schumacher Jr to Ferrari?
It's not because you had a famous father that you inherited his talent or determination (see Josh Hill ?, the Mansell sons ?), on the other hand the son can also be a gazillion times better than the father (see: Max Verstappen)

Time will (probably) tell.
