I'd say for the worse. It makes people think that their beliefs are preordained by some god named "History" and thus complacent in their beliefs that "History is on their side" making them incapable of doing anything when everyone else disagrees and acts differently.

Hegel considered history to have ended in 1806 with the defeat of monarchies by Napoleon, according to Hegel we are in a post historic era where peoples rights and beliefs are the engine of human progress

If you're asking for evaluation, I won't weigh in, but all of Marxist thought is owed to Hegel to one extent or another, and the dialectical mode (including Marx's revisions) literally changed the way many scholars think, particularly in the humanities.

It became a framework for every educated autist out there to project their own pet peeves onto history.

Teleological progression of history becomes a thing.

For kant history was a stage on which each generation played itself out. No progression, just change.

For everyone before that pretty much historical progress was degeneration from an initial golden age.
