There's actually a lot that do have "reputable" jobs and employed by Development companies to safeguard a product or test it...
One such company that comes to mind is
Microsoft.
And to the hackers who are big on the scene, it's not a waste of time for them, it's all about who's biggest on the scene, who's first to do this or that, etc etc...And doesn't that happen everywhere in life? It's not uncommon to display who's the biggest and the best, human nature.
Some of the people who do that sort of "work", i use that term losely, actually take it very seriously.
(Regardless what you think of these people).
