Why so much effort on the openings?

Isn't it more of a hobby than anything? Kind of like baseball cards.

They're fun to trade. It's fun to show your friends when you get a card that they don't have yet. And it's fun to try and get the whole set.

Yes, you can get useful information from baseball cards, but that's not the main reason people collect them.
