It keeps people employed.

I was on an IEEE standards committee, and I remember the chairman 
picking the locations for meetings. He was maximizing the number of 
frequent flier miles he could accumulate. Meetings were in Hawaii, 
Florida, and Boston, as far from his home in San Diego as possible.

By the time the standard was approved the technology was obsolete, and 
the technology had been in use, and working, for three years without a 
standard. But we had a lot of nice meetings and good meals.
