But what if the weather is bad or there is low visibility?

I walk IFR.

Just because it doesn't present value for you doesn't mean it has no
value.
Evidence would suggest that GA presents value to some number of people in
the
world, because there are many people, both pilots and otherwise, that use
General Aviation as a form of transportation. If there is no value in it,
they wouldn't use it.

I think it more likely that many private pilots use the pretext of
transportation as an excuse to fly. Not that there's any harm in
that, but they should just admit it and not try to pretend that
aircraft are actually practical transportation for general purposes.


Some of us value our time. I understand that you don't, else you would earn
more than $637 per hour. But in my case GA allows me to leave the office and
see 4 customers in a day instead of 2 or 3 if I were to drive.
