I think it is about signaling to the merchant that there are people willing to pay with bitcoin. I have seen many stories of merchants that used to accept bitcoin and stopped because "nobody uses it".
Personally, I am aiming to eventually live without banks, and that's not possible if merchants don't want to accept bitcoin (or cash at least for physical merchants).
