I'm not sure why the public should be expected to subsidize to make the investment worthwhile.

Basically, because the public has subsidized all the other teams, and that's the price of playing in the major leagues. It's a stupid reason, but unfortunately a real one.
No doubt your mom used to ask you, ‘If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?’ In this case, the friends are all chained together at the ankles, and it's not really possible for just one of them to refuse to jump. —Well, they could, but only at the cost of eventually losing their franchise.
