It's Futuremark's business to develop benchmarks, so why do you blame them for it?!
That you don't complain that efforts spent into the PC games industry are not invested into cancer reasearch is because this just doesn't tangent your interests. You would naturally complain like everyone else if it actually did, or you else you are just a dead mass of tissue.

Let's put it this way: You know that billions are being spent on AIDS symptom treatment research funds because it is more profitable for the pharma industry compared to a much more promising and sucessful containment of HIV with traditional methods via human development. You do not complain about that for example?
