I have a difficult time understanding your viewpoint. It's one thing to claim you need a beefier blade and SAKs just don't fit your need, but to say they don't cut? Poppycock
For an odd gimmick, they've been around quite a few decades. For something that doesn't cut, I wonder why they easily outcut my shaving sharp, brand new Spyderco Delica on the majority of materials I use knifes on. The 'Junk' you refer to has an extreme variety of uses...saws are obvious, so are scissors, screw drivers definately come in handy, having a small blade lets you give each blade different angles, such as really low for the small and a bit higher for the big. Amazing how these junky toy knives have lasted people over 20 years without any problems.
The blade works fantastic on fruits, cardboard, string, making wood shavings, plastics etc. There are many things it can't handle because it isn't robust enough, but these things are few and far between compared to the variety of materials they effortlessly slice through. People carry them for a reason. They're superb cutter and the other functions can add a large amount of uses, sometimes surpassing the actual blade in how often they're used.
I think it's cute you claim all that, but admit you haven't even used the blade. Go cut up some carrots or bananas, or see how easily it glives through an empty milk jug, just gives you an idea of its cutting ability.
