I do agree with you but at the same time I feel like it grows the community as well, when say I can give someone 25$ worth of Steem in exchange for a amazon gift card!
I feel like it gives some real life value to Steem outside of just the price. My goal is to definitely keep growing my Steemit account and my SP to sorta have some sort of an upvote, but even sometimes it's nice to be able to send some Steem for a silver Steemit coin or some sort of materialistic possession!
