Maybe for the same reason jewellery is made (and bought), even though it has no practical utility. People like to show off, those things are status symbols.
Now, with refractors that's clearly not the whole story, because they do perform nicely. The question is, can one justify to spend an extra 100% in order to reap a 5% benefit? And if so, its that because the extra 5% are absolutely necessary for one's application of the scope, or is it more like wearing a diamond bracelet?
