Inevitable? It hadn't occured to me. Way to shoot yourself in the foot.

It's not nearly that simple. GPS's aren't accurate enough to lead you directly to a cache, locations aren't always easy to get to, and caches can be well hidden.
As for why it's entertaining, why is anything entertaining? Why do people watch cockfights or Friends? As an avid hiker, the entertainment value in stomping around exploring one's home town in a different light is obvious to me. I don't know if I'd be keen on going out in the dead of winter to do this, but it's a fine way to get some fresh air and exercise.
I don't know why you put friends in quotes, either. Until Friday, I'd never done this. Friends of mine back home are into it. One of them bought a remarkable fancy GPS so he gave me his perfectly serviceable if obsolete starter unit when I was in town over the weekend. So there.

I think you're right.
