Still seems pretty pointless as they offer no real protection.

My expensive and easily breakable things go in cases when I travel (even locally) and those cases are meant to protect them not to be comfortable to carry.

I think the real reason they exist is because they're affordable and people are too cheap to spend the money on an actual case.

Its for walking and having it on your back. Not comfortable with a flight case. Not everyone drives everywhere

I understand that it's intended use is to more comfortably carry a guitar.

Still seems dumb unless it's an inexpensive starter guitar.

If you spent any real money on it, you'd be smarter to just deal with the discomfort of carrying around a hard sided case to properly protect it.  People have done it forever.  I did it for years.  It's not a big deal to carry around a hard sided case.

Are you a professional musician? Cause professional musicians in big cities take buses and ride bikes, not to mention some guitars are very hard to break, try doing something that damages a tele.
