It exists almost purely to serve large rights holding companies that can afford large legal teams that can keep up with the pointless bureaucratic burden and it doesn't even promote the creation of new content, because the primary benefactors are entities with minimal or non-existent production, because it allows them to keep pursuing bureaucratic maneuvering while simply acquiring the rights from failed companies, sometimes even companies that got embroiled in successful legal battles with them.
