You don't have do it because it might be useful somewhere else. There's definitely richness to the topic, and it attracts curiosity and answers questions at least some people thought were worth answering. It would be an anomaly if it never found some profound link with stone mainstream more applied field. All the same, when it does prove "useful" that will just be incidental. It won't be a pay-off or vindication or anything. (At least this is my half-baked mathematical philosophy, reasonably people may certainly differ.)
