I'm still not seeing where this hurts anyone...

It wastes their time and is a nonsensical "goal" to have if the real goal is to move away from the title and onto better things. Name one wrestler who is a success story in the WWE
because of the Cruiserweight Championship. I can list plenty of cruiserweights who never really recovered from being seen as "jobbers" after stints as cruiserweights.
Having a Cruiserweight Title in today's day and age would be like having a "Saturday Morning Slam Championship." By winning the title, the guy doesn't actually get much other than a likely spot on Saturday Morning Slam instead of on Main Event or SmackDown. At least an SMS Championship could be held by any guy and wouldn't necessarily be for "small guys." If you wanted small guys to fight over it, you could just have small guys fight over it.
