I think there's room for both. It's not as if they're trying to pursue this as an olympic discipline, and I don't see why they should; as far as I can see, their objective is simply a different one (not a lesser one).
Others can develop "legit leagues" themselves if they want to.

To me personally, that sounds boring.
