It's a pretty decent sounding board for how fast someone can go if they're keen on trying to measure up.
More to my point, those top 10 riders on the local segment aren't likely going to talk about their KOMs, they'll talk about the race they podiumed. Don't get me wrong, when our club finishes high-speed pace-line ride, we all check Strava for new achievements, it is fun.
Edit - I do like to talk about the KOM I got on a rental beach cruiser while on vacation in San Diego (I always forget to tell people it's an obscure segment
)
