You may be right about that, but they are definitely big ego boosters, and there is something to be said for that. A Chevy gets you to the grocery store just as good as a Cadillac, but the Caddy traditionally says "I got more money than I can spend!" Although in many cases the doctoral only says, "I need a piece of paper to convince people I know anything."
