It does not affect the current that the wire COULD carry or the

in the total circuit because it adds resistance to the total

Adding resistance to a circuit changes voltage, not current.

Changes current, too. E.g., a current-limiting resistor in series with a
LED, sized so that the LED won't draw excess current and burn itself out.
