Default Enduro Cross: Why so interested???

I just don't get the fascination with Enduro X. It is boring as hell to watch. It isn't even remotely close to an Enduro. (Neither is NEPG, but that is another topic) A 65 year old man on a TTR 125 could clean all the obstacles. There is no speed, everyone is doing 15 mph.

What is the big deal to the fan? I know why the industry likes it, I just can't ever see myself plunking down $50 or whatever it is or traveling any distance to go and watch it. I don't even watch it on TV.

What is so exciting about it?

Also why does every promoter out there think it is necessary to ruin a Hare Scramble or Enduro by putting artificial obstacles on the course? Tractor tires? Telephone poles? WTF is happening?
