Usually I'd agree that this stuff is indefensible (I mean, you wanna do flatland, get a BMX).
However...consider the life stage of the sport of fixed clown biking. It is very young.
Here's a clip of Jay Adams trying to do shit on a skateboard that had never been done at the time:

Created a whole new sport out the back of it. Are current fixed tricks weak*? Yes, probably. But it could turn into something completely different in the end. And look how skateboards have evolved over time...
*compared to other, established sports.
