Why would anyone practice scales? When you could wash windows or scrub walls or visit the dentist instead? For the same reason athletes work out - to be quicker, more flexible, develop stamina. Daily exercise keeps them in shape for whatever the game happens to be at the moment, whether it's basketball, rugby or water polo, they're probably gonna be able to find a spot and contribute. Same thing goes for musicians - jazz, bluegrass, rock or reggae, when you don't have to overcome physical obstacles, you can play it all. It really works. It doesn't happen overnight. Or even in a month. But it works. Basic major scale practice may also be the best ear training tool there is, since all the chords you'll ever learn are derived from this scale as well as the vast majority of melodies here in the western world.
