At that point why even take pictures of landmarks? Unless you have a decent camera and invest the time to learn how to use it, a professional pic of the Grand Canyon or Eiffel Tower is gonna be way better than yours.

Weird take, just because there are people better and have done better means it's pointless to want to take my own photos? There are lots of reasons to take photos, to practise/improve, for something to keep as a memory of the experience, etc

For the same reason you re-implement software that already exists, for example.
