Who's to say no one appreciates it? And even if it were unappreciated, that doesn't make it any less worthwhile to the person working on it if that's what they choose to do with their time.

You can quietly work on something, finish it one day, be proud of your work, and put it online for others to admire (or not). That's plenty enough of a purpose and reason to build these things IMO.
