It's sort of a curious logic - The better you are, the worse gear you need, yet the better you are, the better gear you supposedly deserve, so the more you need the gear, the worse gear you get and vice versa.

That kinda leads the purpose of stats ad absurdum. Is it really about stats or do people just want to flaunt their E-Peen? >_>
E-peen only children care about such things, i just want something to be worth my time.

Very few people would do it purely for the challenge (challenge is secondary, while getting gear is my primary motive) exclusive vanity rewards would make it worth it though because all about that glamour.
