If that's the case... (Destiny)
Well, one way of looking at it is things like rep boosters allow in game rewards beyond weapons and armor to have value to the player. They're something to look forward to, they a practical benefit that's different than just building up currency, and they can be used to help your friends which always feels nice.
I like getting them and using them to help others. If they were required to build rep at an acceptable pace then I'd be more critical, but rep builds quickly enough on its own that I see them as a nice minor bonus.
