Perhaps a little off topic but what would motivate one to own such a large telescope?

Is this still just a hobby or do you actively participate in global astronomy efforts? Perhaps the near earth object type program or something like that?

Or is this still a personal hobby for the owners of these very large telescopes?

I am not being critical? Quite the contrary, I would love to have something like this if I could afford it and if I had a place for it.

So why such large scopes?
