It kind of depends. If it's a sports car - for example, if I'm buying the new Corvette - of course I need a sport mode, but I also want it to have an eco mode for highway cruising where I'm not actively driving the car but just trying to get to somewhere a long way away (I actually found the drive modes on the c7 I rented for a week one time to be among its best quality of life features). If it's an SUV, I want a snow mode just for the extra traction to get out of a snow bank without digging out my tires, but I don't need a sport mode.
So I agree with you that it's a bit overboard in some vehicles but I still think it's context dependent.
