What purpose do these serve besides giving tanks some strength and over melding? I've yet to see a gear piece that didn't have the main stat maxed out. I can't imagine a Black Mage melding dexterity or a healer with tenacity.
Why bother making them in the game if they're pretty much useless? (minus tanks)
To make sure you don't always get the materia you want.
for mutamix to convert into crafter/gatherer's materias :D
so you dont need to feel bad using them
you can use the mainstat materia to increase the mainstat on NQ gear, since they are only capped out on HQ gear.
You can also use the VIT mainstat materia on accessories if you're not a tank and need some extra HP. The rest just gets transmuted as it's lame.
I keep some Vit ones for raiding. Sometimes I keep others too for no good reason, I think I am part magpie and like shiny things...

With transmute always make sure you use 5 different materia of the same tier. This way you won't get those 5 options when obtaining a new materia. The game currently has 11/24 useless materia(vit being argued) so by reducing that to 6/19 your odds of getting a decent materia are 13/19. 6/19 can be DOL, 7/19 can be DOW/DOM related, the other 6/19 are duds.
