That goes for *anything* we do for entertainment -- including academic music / musicology / history / lilypond work / etc. Any one of us could have devoted our lives to researching ways of creating clean water, or researching how to reducing pollution from energy sources (or making more energy-efficient appliances), or simply volunteering to teach basic mathematics and literacy to the illiterate (either in our own countries, or in other countries). I really, honestly, love Vocaloid ("that waste of time"). On an objective level, it's allowed many people to create music. On a subjective level, listening (and watching) Vocaloid music has brought me more pleasure than *any* academic music composition (going back as far as the Rite of Spring, which may or may not be considered to be "academic", but it was covered in my second-year music theory course, so there).
