I think basically you're right about spending money on suspension, etc being more productive, since most sportbikes already have more performance than 99% of the riders out there can use in the real world.
The thing is, part of the whole motorcycle experience is making the thing your own. I've got a pretty stock VFR, engine wise, but I like bar end mirrors, and I have put on a higher windscreen to cut down on the buffeting caused by my particular physique. A guy a few inches shorter or taller would not like what I have done, and you either like bar end mirrors, or you don't.
The point is, I want my bike the way I want it, and I don't want any ******* in a suit telling me what I can and can't do.
