There's absolutely no reason you should forgo the optionality inherent in a driver's license so long as you continue to pass the test.
People need a ride to the hospital all the time, if the state says your vision is up to the task of doing it, why not be available for emergencies? There's no downside.
I do still technically pass the vision test, but I don’t think it tests for impairment from astigmatism very well.
It’s not rational, but I think a big part of keeping my license is anxiety. It’s really challenging to get around in America without driving. Knowing that my license is still valid makes me feel less trapped.
