Maybe to someone with so much money that it doesn't matter what you synth, you'll just spam through the game. Which is pretty easy at this point.

The rest of us don't have such luxury. HQ's are finally noticeably better, so they are more valuable, so if you actually synth something that you find valuable (instead of just means to EXP if you're so filthy rich) you will want that HQ, and having a lot of quality will bring you that HQ with a much higher percentage than without said quality.
