I walk IFR.

How do you maintain separation from other ground-craft? GCT?

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.

Why do you think that? Why would people fly if it did not provide some
benefit?
