"Why bother writing free software if nobody's going to use it" why bother producing art or documenting the life cycle of an extinct insect or sharing anything that you find interesting or fun - if people find something I've done useful then wonderful, but even if they don't I want to be able to share it with them
@mjg59 well, the authors tend to use the stuff they write
@bgergely0 I don't need to publish my code to use it myself
