It absolutely makes sense to buy things you may (emphasis on may) never use, especially if it never "expires". Insurance is a great example.
People are buying these games knowing they're adding to their backlog and likely won't get through the whole thing, but the price is so low that the chance they'll want to play the game someday is enough.
I'm one of these (apparently rather typical) consumers and will buy almost any modern-class AAA game if it's $5.

This boils down to semantics, but most consumers feel like they're "using" their insurance plan only when they file a claim. Unused games in my Steam library are basically insurance against being bored.
