Maybe it should be? Much like how people cook for themselves all the time, it seems reasonable to encourage people to code for themselves at least every once in awhile.
The overwhelmingly vast majority of software I've written, both personally and professionally, has been software with exactly one user: myself. Usually these are indeed "trivial" programs or scripts, but they are indeed software nonetheless, and are crafted to my tastes, much like how the vast majority of the meals I cook are for myself alone and are cooked to my tastes.
