KOMs in populated areas are near unachievable for the vast majority of dedicated riders anyway. I use Strava segments for the most part as a way to record and compare the results of my training over time, and for that purpose they will always hold value to me. I actually briefly considered the purchase of an ebike for commuting purposes because many of the jobsites I need to visit are in excess of 25 miles from home and have no provision for changing or washing up before work, but ultimately decided not to because the recorded rides would screw up my metrics.
