Exactly. Plus the readers have like 10 minutes tops reading most apps. They aren’t looking that closely. But the application should paint a picture of the student. No one is expected to be in 10 different clubs and activities. So some give the applicant meaning, whether academic or fun. It really just gives the schools a quick snap shot of who the applicant really is. Combined with the stats, rigor, essays… They should have a good clue if the applicant is a fit for their school with some serious luck thrown in.
