You don't understand the concept of a simple example, do you?
An example is a simple proof-of-concept which demonstrates a feature.
Asking "why would you want to do that" is idiotic when we are talking
about examples.
If you give someone an example of a short Haskell program which prints
"Hello World!", and that someone would then ask you "why would you want
to do that?", wouldn't you consider him an idiot? He is *missing the point*.
It was just an example to demonstrate something.
