Well, if it significantly impacts functioning, whether social or otherwise, it's pretty helpful to label it and find ways of solving the problems or coping with them (using said label to refer to the particular issues).
That said, I do agree that at least in the 'public mind' there's too much focus on these weird things being a problem. In fact, I've found that with those who struggle with mental health issues of many kinds, the pathologizing is a significant part of the problem. There's a strong pressure, both external and internal, to conform. Very often that's part of the problem, or the cause of many of the symptoms, and it strikes me as frustratingly pointless.
