As i said further up in this thread, most parts are built at a price point. It's simple economics .. the more you're willing to pay, the more the manufacturer will spend on production to give you less, this is why boutique weight weenie manufacturers exist! Want an example? TA chainring .. the Hegoa range offered by TA is an Alize with additional CNC work to make it lighter.
At the end of the day you can say "whats the point" about most things! It's probably appropriate now to point to the collective time spent reading my comment on this thread which could have been usefully harnessed for riding ..
