Just because you don’t see or don’t care to see the point doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. And just because it’s not fun to you does not mean it’s not fun to anyone.
As everyone else has said, people can choose to have fun with their free time and what they do with it is up to them. “This isn’t a viable competitor” is an extremely shallow dismissal of one’s work when the motivating factor isn’t even remotely making a competitor. Which some people couldn’t give two shits about.
