You could ask yourself the same question about all the public infrastructure that exists. I mean why even have roads, legally or morally??

Roads serve the public interest and have been legislated into existence at the federal level[1]. Your turn.

Were roads legislated before they existed?

Did they serve the public interest (as in, did everybody benefit from them) when they were starting to get built?

That's precisely what will happen with what I proposed.
