Avram
That is incorrect. The kaddishes you mentioned are not obligatory on the tzibbur. They are not part of the set davening, I don’t know where you got that from. Every single siddur I have seen calls them “Kaddish Yasom”, to be said by a yasom. It’s very clear. They are there to give an avel an opportunity to recite kaddish. IF there is no chiyuv, they should not be said, with one exception, the kaddish after Aleinu. This is mentioned in the Aruch Hashulchan, I just didn’t quote it. By definition, filling in all the kaddish spaces bynon-avelim or yahrzeits confers on them the status of “kaddishim m’yutarim” , superfluous kaddishim.
