Same can be said for consumerism. Some argue its a waste and an environmental disaster that people change phones every couple of years, but it drives a technological development which trickles down to less lucrative, glamorous and mass market applications. No one would develop something like a Snapdragon processor just for medical devices, but once the technology is pioneered on phones, it can definitely be reused.
Besides, our existence has no reason or cause other than having fun. And motorsport is awesome fun and entertainment.
