If the Turks never moved Muhammad (ﷺ)'s stuff via rail in 1917 do you think they would still exist?

Recently alot of Saudis and a few Qataris have been crying online about how the Turks 'sToLe' Muhammad (ﷺ)'s stuff from his grave and moved it to a museum in Istanbul during ww1. Now with the context of their absolutely insane mass-destruction of Islamic heritage sites in the Hijaz during the 30s-40s would they have been spared? Also keep in mind their devastating Sack of Karbala where they straight up robbed everything from Hussein's grave and destroyed his Masjid and did the same for a lot of stuff in Hijaz and Iraq when they briefly took those areas from the Turks.

The Wahhabi youth have mellowed out yes but it seems they have forgotton their own history, the Turks were correct in moving the artifacts to a safer location once the fall of Hijaz was imminent.

Your thoughts? (image is of the train that moved Muhammad (ﷺ)'s stuff to Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul)

What’s stuff was in it
It has not been disclosed by the museum or the Turkish government what exactly was evacuated by the Ottoman Army but this is what they say on their website

"In 1916, after the Ottoman government’s decision to partially withdraw from the Hejaz, Fahreddin Pasha sent 30 sacred relics which had been kept in the Prophet’s mosque to Istanbul by railroad; this was done to prevent the relics from being looted. Fahreddin Pasha sent the relics to Istanbul under the protection of 2,000 soldiers. When Mehmed VI was leaving Istanbul on November 17, 1922, he refused Zeki Bey’s offer to take the sacred relics with him, saying that they were gifts given to the Turkish people by their ancestors. Likewise, the Turkish committee refused the offer made during the Lausanne peace talks to return the sacred relics that had been sent by Fahreddin Pasha."

They probably never said what exactly they took so that now, a full century after the fact, the Saudi gov cannot actually request to have them back because they don't know what they took. For reference the museum has the vast majority of Muhammad (ﷺ)'s stuff and the stuff of many Sahaba.

Some random examples: Khalid Ibn al Walid's sword and Muhammad (ﷺ)'s clothes.

These guy's demolished Khadijah's grave and would have honestly demolished the Green Dome if Ibn Saud hadn't basically stopped them, thinking that was maybe a step too far that could inflame the rest of the Muslim world against them too much, from what I remember.

is this actually true. Swords and clothes dont last nearly 1700 years. Dont they rust and wither away.

They destroyed qabr Shrines and they were right
 
They wanted to demolish the Prophet's grave, but there was anger in the Islamic world, and then they stopped. The Wahhabis have no deen

The prophet ﷺ ordered ali رضي الله عنه to make Graves even and to destroy statues

أنَّ عليًّا رضي اللهُ عنه بعَث صاحبَ شُرْطَةٍ فقال : أبعَثُك لِما بعثَني له رسولُ اللهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ لا تَدَعْ قبرًا إلا سوَّيْتَه ولا تِمثَالًا إلا وضَعْتَه
