There's no telling if sievemaking might incidentally tie into a currently undiscovered mathematical formula that relates to the internal structure of a helpful molecule.
Nonchalantly allowing knowledge to die out universally simply because it doesn't benefit you directly now sets a dangerous precedent for the future and potentially closes doors to humanity's potential.

That reminds me of reading somewhere that, during the Apollo program, the engineers couldn't come with a good design for the knee joint of the spacesuit themselves. So they ended copying the design of some preserved medieval armor made hundreds of years ago, and it worked fine.
